[Chris Cowie]

A boat show tribute to Stan and rose is in order.  We should plan ahead.

Graham is correct.  When Stan was getting feedback that the drain were clogging owing to leaves and other debris, he increased the diameter of the drains (and the size hose, of course).

We "Rhodies" are going to be more dependent on each other for "technical" and just plain questions on our sailing vessels as we watch Stan move on to other endeavors.

Kathy and I are sure going to miss the General Boat's presence at various boat shows.  We had grand times with Elton and Stan at the shows and fun with Rose at the factory going back to 1991.  If Stan makes the Annapolis show this year, we will do all we can to be there if my treatment schedule for two cancers permits.

Tom:
It would be best to take the old hose off and measure the inside diameter or
measure the outside diameter of the thru-hull barb. I think that Stan
changed the size of the drain hose over the years so others may have a
different size hose than yours is. My boat (76) only had a .5" garden hose
originally. I thought that was minimal and it was constantly clogged so I
replaced everything with 1.5" fittings and hose.

Rhodies,


One of the hoses that leads from the cockpit seats in the back out to the
stern through hulls has developed some cracks.

It is currently a corrugated plastic-y hose.

Anybody know the proper size and have recommendations for the type of hose
to use?


Thanks,


Tom
