Dave,
I had the exact scenario you describe happen to me, but even when diving
I couldn't see anything in the intake. I wound up taking the hose off
the through hull fitting, opening the ball valve and when no water came
in, pushing a screw driver down to clear the weeds.

David,
Next time your boat is hauled, put a thru hull strainer on ..the
plastic ones cost approx. $10..have had one for 13 years with no issues.

Thanks for the responses. The local phrf will give me a 6s credit if I
ditch the pole, which is surprising. I'll look up the mast mfr, I just
assumed they were out of business.
Pete, why do you say the furler is slower? Does if affect boat speed or
just the time to roll and unroll vs douse?
Thank

an interesting idea. I always do it by touch, but it is hard to have repetitive

I am pretty sure that one of the members on this list suggested to plumb an
extra T into the water intake (works only if your through hull is straight).
Normally, you use the 90 deg part of the T for the water intake. When plugged,
you attach a 30-50 cm of a hose (long enough to get you above th
there are different schools of thought on that. Some people swear by them other
at them. The strainers outside hull can easily plug, as well. especially, if
you have some growth on them.

Hi Luke,
If you're 33-2 is older than '86, you probably have the C&C extrusion and
Klacko in Ontario should be able to help you with a solution. If ´86 or newer,
the mast would be an Offshore spar.
The furler is slower because it takes some time to furl the sail opposed to
pull the sock down.
I use a bungee cord extended to full length between the halyard and a hole in
the toe rail, so I can barely hook it to the toe rail.
Cheers,

Thanks for clarifying Bruno, we mostly do distance races like the Mac and

more time screwing up the hoist/douse and simplifying is a big deal. The

I put the fitting shown in the picture on my through hulls. I can attach a

floor) and use air, water, or a ram rod to clear a blockage.

Luke,
The possibility to safely furl from the cockpit and then go forward only to
handle a thightly furled sail is a big plus indeed compared to the situations
you described, that do happen with a snuffer.

I guess the only other question is how do you arrange the sprit? The

aluminum casting and the fairleads to the bow cleats. I can't see a way to

I agree with Josh that a tee in the line allows for applying water pressure and
blowing out the line. A very effective method of cleaning things out, by the
way, as we had a similar approach on our 27 MKIII. That said, if I was going
to put in a tee, I would probably go one step further and in

I agree. I’ve noticed that if someone sits in the way back of the cockpit of

Ben Gartside, a really great mechanic in Sidney BC, suggested replacing the 90
degree fitting on the intake with a threaded T. With the straight part up.
Then put a plug in the upper part that can be removed leaving a straight shot
through the intake that you can easily clean out with a dowel

Dave,
Interesting question for me, as just a few days ago I installed an ACR
and have been watching the voltage on the house bank, (alternator output
is to the starting bank only) by which I can see when the ACR combines.
It seems to be at about 13 to 13.2 volts, so it does sound like your

The difference is that we (humans) are bags of water and interfere with signals
(absorb them) in that spectrum (if you sit on the GPS, it would lose its
connection, as well). A canvas is a different matter (however, a really wet
canvas may attenuate it somewhat).
