It’s a notable day because I finally plucked up the courage to bore some holes in the beautiful hull we made. But that’s what it takes to make a marine toilet work, and that’s what it probably takes to have some of my mates sail with me!
Holes are oversized, so I will fill with epoxy and then re-bore to the right size, to make sure the hull plywood is sealed.
Also bored some holes for the bilge hoses to run from the cabin to the cockpit. Need to plan the transom a little further before cutting into it.
Cut the bunk side to take the “through bulkhead” Whale gusher bilge manual pump. I’m planning on joining the cabin manual pump with the electric pump, before the vented loop and exit through the cockpit.
