Ceramic coating?

On my kitchen sink I just curved the drain hose upwards 2" or so and then down to the waterline thru hull. Effectively a "P" trap. Quietens the wave slapping completely and works perfectly over 5 years!

Nice work! What type of boat is this?

Do you know the web site for the BC Defever? Thanks

Raritan Elegance Thanks Peggy. Powell River is only 80 miles North of Vancouver BC so not far from Puget Sound WA. Have put Raritan Elegance heads on previous yachts with great success, except with a flushed tampon wrapped around macerator, easily fixed by taking plate off back and removing...

Raritan Elegance Retail price for this head in Canada is $1774.00 ! The slant back is over $1900!

auto anchor 320 Thanks for the solder idea but the pins are potted in epoxy or equivalent. I think the heat would be harmful. Anyway I ended up drilling the holes through and took 3 strands off each 16ga wire to fit through holes and tightened down screws. Seems to be working fine now. Just...

Thank you. I will try that.

Hi. Does anybody know the amount of space in cubic feet that 5/16ths g43 and 3/8ths g43 chain, per say 100 feet, would take? I can calculate the cubic feet of my anchor locker but hard to find specs on chain volume. No reply from Peerless when I tried to query them. Thanks
