[Rhodes22-list] CB Pennant drain

[Graham Stewart]

Jesse:
Once again it appears that every boat is a bit different but that said, I have done what you seem to be suggesting in order to get to the hose clamp. on I drilled a hole about 1.5" in the front panel and another under the lip. I then covered the holes with large plastic plugs. Even so it was a struggle to undo the tube from the thru hull. 

If I were to do it again I would cut a much larger hole, perhaps 6", to  allow for easier access. I would then use a inspection plate (https://www.marineoutfitters.ca/index.cfm?category=10681|10682&product=56378931&code=900000001318) to cover the hole. The hole is also very handy if you need to fish wires and cables.

I can send a picture if that would help.

Mark, thanks for sharing.

On my 1991 R22, it appears that the CB pennant hoses are aft of the cabin
and forward of the cockpit so they are hidden from view.  If I had to
access that, I assume that I would need to cut out a panel of the
fiberglass at the aft of the cabin.  Has anyone on the list done that?  I
ask because I'm going to be replacing my centerboard pennant at the end of
the season.  I plan to use a messenger line to accomplish this and plan to
leave the existing hoses in place but in case that goes poorly, it would be
good to have a backup plan.
