Hi Mike!  Haven't seen you in over a year, hope all is well. Secret Plans has an Espar with the exhaust out the transom, it is angled sufficiently that I have absolutely no concerns about drainage, it has worked flawlessly since 2010.  I've got it tucked up high as I could and still get a 12"

Another option is to wait for stong wind and attempt to sail under close hauled if we can get a good lean on.. anyone tried this? Nope - but I would strongly recommend against it!  You might get heeled over enough to get under - but what happens when the wind shifts or worse gets blocked out by

Our 35-2 has a modest reverse transom, and the through-hull I got would have just allowed for drainage, but I decided to put on the aft quarter, about 12" forward of the transom edge. The heater is just below the deck, so it's all downhill to the outlet, and I've had no issues so far. Many newer bo

Thanks everyone. The measurements came from when I had the mast on the ground, i measured from the spartite to the top, and also the entire length. Just looking for confirmation from another 44 owner to make absolutely sure. The bridge has a tide marker on it and the tide is not too strong here so

Wondering if anyone on this list has installed a forced air heater with the exhaust thru hull on a reverse transom? The thru hull I purchased can be seen has an elbow to force the exhaust hose into an upward loop but with a reverse transom there is potential for water to build up at this elbow

I taped a long stick onto Touche's main halyard. I taped a 100 foot tape to the top of the stick. I hauled the stick up and adjusted the hoist until the tape was even with the bird spike on my Windex. Then I swung the tape to the water. ~50 feet. Touche's VHF antenna is another couple feet.

Don't rely on calculations. I ran a tape up the mast using the main halyard, added the measured distance from the base of the mast to the waterline, and added five feet to allow for the distance from the top of the halyard to the top of the antenna in order to give me an accurate measurement. Alan
