Re: DMoore: *100 posts & no pics yet...
Thanks Reel & Skools! Me & photobucket arent gettin along right now but I WILL win ;D
Billy Mac those hoses & valve assy you see are the washdown & livewell system...turn valve one way & raw water is diverted from the pump to the livewell..the other way directs water to the washdown fitting rear of stbd side rod box. There is a thruhull pickup stbdside of centerline at the rear bottom of bopat w/ a sea strainer/valve (aft bilge)where the pump(mounted portside aft in the oil tank compartment)picks up the incoming r/w.
I have replaced all 5 thru-hulls with bronze fittings & new hoses.
You can see the stbd aft rod holder in the one pic of the r/w diverter valve...I replaced all of the rod holder drains that are plumbed to the end of each rod box.(this keeps water out of the boat & flotation.
And of coarse ya gotta have a Perko on/off master switch. I'm only going with one battery on this boat. Thats why I purchased a Guest built in battery charger. Its mounted in the stbd side aft compartment up on the bulkhead a lil. I purchased the Marinco 110v.a.c. weatherproof recepticle and mounted it just above the r/w washdown fitting stbd side aft rod box.
And a few other improvements of which I will post soon ;D
