@ 18:01 I'm sure someone has already mentioned this ... re the 'no stoppers, no backflow valves ..". Seawater is going to come in via the new through-hull and hose and fill up your bilges. Once it's full enough, the Whale pump will try to keep up with the inflow. If a siphon is created, the Rule pump will soon need to kick in as well. On Snow Gum, the sail locker would fill up with sea water via the outlet hose of the bilge pump located in there. We stopped this with a one-way valve, installed in the hose near the through hull, which by the way was right up at deck level, nearly 1.6m above waterline. Yep, sea water rushed into the sail locker each time a wave splooshed over the starboard bow. The one-way valve fixed the problem.

We know your pain! We own a pearson 424 ketch. When and if we need to replace our diesel tank I would use a fuel bladder. We used these in the military for fuels and potable water.

Hello and Merry Christmas Sarah, Lee, and Family.
Please don't use JB Weld in fuel, it will fail. The product you want is Flame Master 8802. It is made to coat and seal "wet wing" aircraft fuel tanks. It is made to bond to the aluminum skin of aircraft, and be in constant contact with fuel without breaking down.
Hope to see you splashed in Jan 25!

Merry Christmas to you guys. I hope 2025 is full of incredible cruising and great times. Did I miss the rigging being done? I saw the episode of installing the masts but don't see the rigging.
