[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 in St. Maarten

Fri Jan 7 15:20:55 EST 2022

I was looking through some old photos and ran across these.  One is the bilge pump to sink drain connection.  Notice the bilge pump line and how high it does to give you the siphon break Roger is talking about.  The second is the old wire traveler that was used. The current bar traveler is a great improvement! - Rob

Hi Rob,

My ‘76 is setup just like yours with a single thru hull and the bilge pump and galley sink plumbed to it.  Minimizing the number of thru hulls is always a good idea.  However, it’s not considered good practice to plumb grey water like a sink drain or a bilge pump together with raw sewage, hence the 2 separate thru hulls.

As long as there is a siphon break loop, the height above the waterline of the thru hulls is OK.  Even on our boats, on port tack, the thru hull can be submerged and there is a potential to siphon water back into the cabin.
