RE: What did I get myself into??

"I've heard used when structural integrity is important, like when used as a step. But you have to drill 4 holes and glass in a pad to do it right. Too much work,"

The lack of any bolts means the thru hull fitting is the sole support for the valve.

If the handle was broken off by a failed attempt to close a ball valve , at least the same sized wooden plug will work in the failed valve or the hole in the boat when the valve is in your hand.

Tie the plugs near every valve of any type that is not properly installed.


"Frank, how long are you in FL?"

Have no idea how long Frank will be in FL, but FF (aka, Fast Fred) will be in FL till about April 25 or so.

With some weeks out for RV and a boat Round FL trip , when the new pilot house roof is done.

The dock is here , weather we are or not., but the workshop is closed.
