Tee fittings on critical thruhulls
Trick I learned from some other expert like maybe Nigel Calder. Most thru-hulls
have an ell fitting that adapts somehow to a hose.
Most engine intakes are 18" or so below the water line and a simple rig can be
carried for clearing blockages safely from inside
I had to do exactly that; jump overboard to clean out a the intake hole on my boat; I had the same symptoms described by others; engine quickly over heating and no apparent reason (belts tight etc); then I pulled the strainer on my water intake line and opened up the valve; there was no "woosh" of

I sucked up a jelly fish in my air conditioning the other day. It was a

Pete,
I've been on the Chesapeake for 20 years too and have never had a problem.
I have a large strainer inside, but only find a bit of grass in it now and
then. I empty it every 3 or 4 years, but it has never been an issue.

I replaced the four portlights on my 38 MkII with opening ports from Lewmar. I
had to recut the openings but that was not very difficult once I found the
correct jigsaw blade. No leaks, replacement parts readily available, and they
open now!, I'm very pleased with the result.

Hi All,
I have been studying the forums looking for sources of portlights for a C&C
34. I was wondering if anyone knew of someone that already had the patterns
and you could just order the frame and plexi?
Also, is there a mod whereby you can make the port an OPENING porthole

Last splash after haulout saw no water from exhaust. Fortunately, slip was just a couple minutes from Travelift. In the slip I found that something had plugged the engine intake thru hull. Blew it out with a dock hose. Later the drain from the head sink was plugged. Had to cut hose and rod it

I have to agree with that.
On a summer race series down the lake the engine overheated (thank my
lucky stars for my AquaAlarm) I immediately shut the engine down, didn't see
too much in my large Groco Strainer and just did the day's race.
Later tried the engine, hardly any water coming out. Lo
If you have a raw water strainer fairly close to the intake fitting, I can't
see any reason to put an external unit on. You can service the internal
strainer easier than an external one, and can always blow out the intake if
needed.

A plastic bad will not get sucked up into the thruhull with an outside
strainerit might stick to the strainer but when you shut down the
engine and start sailing, there is a good chance it will get dislodged.
Like I said earlier, everyone will have a different opinion.

JP,
Guess that's not much different than what I do. I'm not fond of the yards on
Lake Pontchartrain so I take Touché 160 miles east to a yard in Pensacola. Also
a nice trip.

I've been without for 20 years on the Chesapeake. I do have a rather good sized
bronze one inside, though. A plastic bag is going to be a problem whatever you

Here on the Chesapeake, sea nettles abound for most of the summer, and they are
a constant threat to my engine water intake. This is particularly true when I
am getting ready to leave the dock.
On my 30MKII, the engine intake is completely "naked", i.e., no protection

Hi,
Our options for bottom work are about nil… there are no cranes in the area and
no boat yards that are open to the public. There are no riggers, and no marine

I fly my asym on a spinnaker halyard and jibe the long way around with the sail
going out ahead of the boat.
YMMV.
Easy enough to do singlehanded. The pole is kind of a pain for jibing in lazy

On the J-80 I race on, we always hoist the spinnaker from the port side. It is
just easier to do it that way (and most courses are set up for port roundings)
than have someone on the bow of a light boat moving the strings around.
And, on sprit boats, the gybes are on the outside of the forestay
