Various Repairs
Drain plug hole was in bad shape and allowed water past the outside of the tube into the wood...hogged out the old to accept a new garboard style plug...
 Had a slightly used (11 yrs on the old '74) gas cap in storage and picked up a new vent fitting...vent was gone and old gas cap was shot...all new hoses, fill and vent in place to tank...  Speaking of new hoses...filler hose $10 per foot...took 7'...man that's some rough stuff...new ground wire and terminals from tank to filler cap, too...and new ground wire from rear of tank to neg battery post...  Rod boxes...removed the teak trim, repaired the broken edges and cut opening to fit the whole length of the box...then just screwed 'em on...it'll do for now...had some starboard racks never used from long ago...old teak ones now gone...   In the bilge...actually cleaned up pretty good w/pressure hose...new hoses between bigger, oversized cockpit drains...no 90* elbows to slow the flow...runs straight out now thru larger opening...      Well that's some of the stuff been goin' on around here...still gotta do something about that ugly old bottom paint, but that'll come w/time...might do some fishin' first...

Looking great!!! (even though the gas cap is upside down) Not sure if I will be able to get out again either due to honey lists  and football. rkc

Hey, did I miss the memo about rerouting the scuppers through the liner instead of the floor? I cant say I recall that modification being done before....Is that REELAPATENT PENDING?

LOL!!...didn't get a chance to send out that memo!!...when I got 'er back home, I realized the drains were holding water...cleaned 'em out good and noticed the 90* elbows were still holding water, cuz from there the hose had to go UP to the thru-hull and out...just figured this would be a more efficient way to evacuate the water...those are 1 1/2" hoses and fittings...and yep...patent pending!!...

Oh and take another look at the gas cap...notice what's "above" it in the pic...so lookin' at it from the ground, it's right-side up...or else I wouldn't know where to put the freakin' gas...

Lookin' Good Reel. That is one clean bilge for not being repainted. Have you considered maybe doubling up on the hose clamps on the scuppers? Hate to have one fail.

If they were below the water line, I'd have already done that...and been much more reluctant to install plastic fittings...but not a bad idea here...thanks for the suggestion!!...
