[C38] Bilge

[Larry Malmberg]

Me either, the bilge pump keeps it pretty well pumped out but as usual there
is always some water in the bilge.  I would think one would have to be
really heeled over for the bilge water to get to a cushion. 






Best regards,

Way to go Steve!! Congrats for the race. 
Haven't heard of that modification before, but it shouldn't be that hard.
Were's your holding tank located?? Mine is under the settee against the head
bulkhead. That could get In the way. 
  How much water do you usually have on your bilge?? I haven't experienced
a wet port cushion before. 
Regards,
Max

my aft port shroud/chainplate. Per our string last Fall or Winter the cabin
side of the wall common to the head is always wet under and behind the
cushions.  I have assumed the cause was the chainplate or the leaky towrail.
But, as I tore the boat apart after last week's race (yes by the way,
another First Place for Team C38!! (78th running of the Monhegan Race,
25h:38m)) I came to the realization that when healed to port (read:
broached) the bilge water will flow to the low side and wet the
cushions...which wick the water to the woodwork, etc., etc.
