[Rhodes22-list] Leaking CB pin - Old CB style

[Mark Olson]

I put one garboard drain on the outside of the stub keel on each side. 
www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--garboard-drain-plug--P006_181_003_505?recordNum=1.
$12 each at West Marine.

I put them on the outside of the stub keel at the bottom of the ballast I 
had taken out.  I used 5200 and screws to mount them.  I put Teflon tape on 
the threads to seal them.  I don't have any pictures of them but I could in 
a few weeks when I haul out.

Could you explain the drains you installed?

I will say the advantage of a builder that refits his own boats is at least
you can get to stuff.   I pulled everything but the centerboard cap this
week to unplug the pennant tube, which had a gelatinous mass of rotting
birds nest that a snake could pass through but not water.     I took the
opportunity to install a bilge pump, which pumps the water into the cockpit
via the chase under the seats.    There is very little lift required.  It
took 8 feet of hose and some plastic elbows at the termination.    At least
I'll be able to tell if the pump is running under sail.
