Marek,
Our club has a weather station by Ambient Weather which is a few years
old. It is interfaced with Weather Underground's WunderMap. I was the one
who bought and installed it with some club volunteers.

I think the older C&C's, from the early 1970's, used Bathroom Sink drains
like this for cockpit drains:

Hi,
This is not C&C related, but certainly sailing-related...
I have a general question to anyone who is involved in running a weather
station for the sailing club (or similar). Our Club had various weather
stations over the years, but the last one failed about a year ago and we did
not have a
I accomplished the same thing with a squeeze bulb in the line from the
tank. It not only primes the filter bowl but also can quickly pump fuel and
air thru the fuel pump and secondary filter. It will also tell you if
there is a blockage in the pick up line from the tank.

In 2005 we lived in Miami when Katrina crossed
the state on the way to the gulf and then we got
pounded by Wilma, a CAT 5. Two hits in one year
did it for us. The Admiral said, that's it. The
next year we sold our Coconut Grove home and
moved to Vashon Island, outside of Seattle.
Thanks for heads-up and additional info. Fortunately I’m in the smelly mess
category. I will nevertheless raise the issue with my diesel guy.

Have you considered a clutch on the mast? If you have it there, you can remove
the halyard from the winch, even if it is under load.
If you consider installing a clutch on the mast, Selden has a clutch that can
be mounted on its side. It is much better that way on the mast.

That option has been available for years (at least since early 90s). However,

to seal it again.

Thanks, Nathan.
The holes in the deck after removing the two winches will be covered by either
the existing teak (plugs) or matching starboard -- I haven't decided. In any
event, they will be filled with epoxy, not a sealant.

My mechanic became a diesel expert working on diesel engines in Vietnam. I’m

Not sure which lines you want the clutches to hold secure but have you thought
