Re: Unsinkable Monohull - Why Not ?

What's above the waterline? The top of the sea chest? What does that have to do with the intake fittings? If you have to rely on each individual ball valve for each intake coming from the sea chest,...

Re: Unsinkable Monohull - Why Not ?

You'd have to suck it through the external strainer clamshell for that to happen. Not likely. After the ball valve theres only the thickness of the hull before the external strainer clamshell. Not...

Re: Watertight bulkhead hatch - anyone seen one?

A Freeman hatch will do this. Had one on my last boat. They dog down completely watertight and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are also very expensive.
