I cover the boat -although we haven't had many thaw cycles this year

After a fairly substantial rainfall this weekend, I found the bilge on my C&C 33mkii was full to the top. This seemed like too much water to have run down the mast so I investigated and found that one of the hoses on my cockpit drains was frozen solid and popped the hose off the barbs of the drain. My boat is not covered at this time(tarp was sagging too much) so there is a lot of water in the cockpit. I'm thinking there may be a low spot in the hose causing water to freeze there rather than draining. The drains on my C&C are criss-crossed, i.e., port drainst to stbd, &stbd to port. Just wondering how other owners in a freezing climate deal with this issue? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
