Kingfisher 126 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi Nige Good to see things are moving along for you, hope all goes well and the momentum keeps going. You will soon be ready for the season. Good luck. niggle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 All very well having sealed compartments, but I like to have limber holes down to the bilge I had that discussion with offshore after looking at the boats they finished, that seemed to have voids around tanks etc, their answer was that water should never get in so why worry about how it gets out. I still gave Alfresco lots of limber holes, so any water finishes up in the bilge or central lockers. Three main bilges all have their own pumps (hand and elec) so that water can be removed. No doubt your yard are looking at how to do that for you Nige Kingfisher 126, charlieannear and niggle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi Nigge did you find out how she went down mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niggle Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mark ,spring high and about 4 extra feet of flood water.static mooring mooring ropes pulled her over so the water came in the scuppers and fish wells and into engine bay which only has a 100 mm lip and the 4 month old bilge pump stopped working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niggle Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Popped in yesterday to see progress, looking good on the interior.Electricians were still working on her and all wiring has been replaced and is so neat, better than before😄 2 new vetus wiper motors,all new gauges,switches etc Probably be just 3 or 4 weeks now can't wait, think I might have trouble actually fishing from her to start with as all I want to do is drive her Nigel Martin.C, Paul J, Stuie and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
