Dave,
I had some additional thoughts.
It is easy to pull one fastener of a piece of deck hardware and test the core.
We peer down the hole with a bright light and use a dental pick to test the
core integrity. Good core will look tan in color and be firm. The longer the
core has been we
Here's a few videos for any attempting core repairs. Techniques vary.
Your exact technique will depend on your situation.

Dave,
My comments are based on older C&Cs (early 70's) with vertical grain balsa laid
up with polyester resin. Your 1982 C&C likely has a few differences in
construction. It would be good to hear from owner that have worked on boats
from the 80's.
>> is it a matter of "large" areas of wet su
Rob Gallagher's paraphrasing of Rob Ball's take on wet cores:
To paraphrase Rob Ball (C&C designer) when he answered a question last
summer about cored decks... 'Ok, so the core is wet, lots of boats
have wet cores, now what? If there is no serious de-lamination who cares?
Spend a fortune
I look forward to Fridays

Joel,
Plastic might be a better choice. My tubing is just coiled up on a shelf
(there was a lot of it left over). No corrosion so far.

Hi, Al — welcome to the list! On both my previous boat (1981 30mkI) and
current boat (1979 Landfall 38), the galley foot pump works in parallel to the
cold side of the pressure water system; so it’s plumbed to the freshwater
system. No through hull.

Al,
The foot pump should be attached to the starboard fresh water tank.
As for the water heater, there should be a cylindrical one under your starboard
cockpit seat where you also have engine access.
The Enterprise-A was a 1978 C&C 34. It was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy over
a year ago.

Lumber yards sell "expanded PVC" sheets. 3/8" x 4' x 8' cost about $75 and is
amazing stuff. Waterproof and super lightweight, cuts like wood, great for

You may run into a thread incompatibility, depending on what you’re using to

My refrigeration compressor is in the lazarette. The copper tubing is
exposed. I can secure some of it with clips, but I'm thinking of making
an enclosure out of pegboard to allow ventilation. I'm wondering if there
is a more moisture- tolerant material.
Thoughts?
