[C38] water hole

[William Knowles]

This is a somewhat related thread. I was down with the yard repair guy, to
try and find out why my strut shaft and bearing seem to be out of line. We
are also  going to try and fix the ongoing transmission shifting problems.
Here are my questions
1 I thought I read that the hot water tank will fit under the sink. True or
false.
2 Where is a good place to get a transmission?
3 We will go to a 3" heat exchanger where is a good place to get one of
them? Yacht Power Products?
4 I keep reading that some of you have cut out the locker floor, mine seems
to be glassed in place, do you mean the part covering the muffler? and the
vertical wall coming down from the cockpit floor.

As always thanks for your help in advance
