[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 in St. Maarten

Fri Jan 7 13:01:22 EST 2022

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.
