Re: Second deck hatch

Second deck hatch

Hi I was wondering if it would be possible or prudent to install a second lewmar hatch just before the companionway seahood. The Lewmar 00 ocean flange profile opening is 8" 1/8 inside and is 10" 1/16 overall with flange. I was thinking ventilation would be better with it facing forward. A...

Re: Pearson Triton hull to deck joint

I bought a wire wheel for my drill to hit that area recessed under the toe rail to sand it back. Will let you know how that turns out because some areas I will be limited. If you would think gussets would work that may be a viable option. Plus a lot easier. I was thinking I could make them vee shape...

Pearson Triton hull to deck joint

I have been looking at my hull to deck joint. There is a section with unwetted glass fabric bunched up. I will trim with the oscillating saw. I also wanted to reinforce the whole joint without going outside and overlapping and then fairing outside deck and hull. I was wondering if I filled that cavi...

Re: Integral water tank build

Hello, I did look up but couldn't find if lead leech's out thru fiberglass. I did look into the inline filter systems. Like the Woder inline filter looked good. If I did decide to go with the bilge tank where would you start the tank at the main aft main cabin bulkhead (bookshelf and head) back to c...

Re: Integral water tank build

Hello, Sorry to beat a dead horse with bilge tank questions. I think I would go with the Diviniycell foam for tank top and baffles. The only concern I have is the lead keel and lead Leeching thru the fiberglass into the water tank? I researched the Allied Seawind 30 and she had a lead keel as well. ...

Re: Integral water tank build

Hello, This Solar shower I would tweak. I didn't think schraider valve install was good. And use a low volume spray head. I do think this is easier to repair and stronger than a shower bag. I still like the garden sprayer idea and would probably have the hand held small half gallon house plant spray...

Re: Integral water tank build

Hello, I was cutting plywood this afternoon from the templates. Also installing two exterior doors on the house cutting out block wall and windows onto porch. I did see that video on Dawn Treader and their leak at the rear Beckson plate. I listen to other peoples ideas so if I like somebody's idea b...

Re: Integral water tank build

Hello, I really liked the Iroko wood floor with the black Polysulfied caulk. I was thinking I don't think I could do as nice a job of it as you did. I did watch those videos in the past and glad you suggested I review them again. I watched the A30 and the Allied 30 interior and intragal tank install...

Re: Integral water tank build

Hello, I did take into consideration the water slosh between to opposing tanks and thought about a pipe under sole to help keep both tanks equal. That would not work at all unless it was dead calm and a check valve wouldn't work either. I was wondering about the weight being on the high side if the ...

Making the tank about 16 inchs above the cabin sole and back to just under bottom locker opening to the hull in head area. In the hanging locker building another tank about 20 inch'...

Re: Epoxy questions

Hello Atom Voyager, I did look into and called the US Composites office. I am considering using USC product because it is half the cost of Wet System. I read on their web page the 635 is for laminating and fiberglass cloth/matt layup and the 105 is for adding filler and fillets to bond two pieces to...

Re: Epoxy questions

Thank you again for the advice. I think I will go with the West System 105 and the 206 hardner. And use the 407 filler for smoothing out the uneven surfaces. I pulled all the Formica off the interior and sanded down the green glue. Got one cockpit locker sanded down and inside both cockpit lockers d...
