Lots of good info on this thread. I'm not too familiar with the 33-2, but will share a bit of what was done (by the PO) on my 35-2 which might be relevant if the water from the anchor locker is a problem (it appears to be from higher up though). On the 35-2, the original anchor locker appears to have had a "floor" above the hull. This was cut out to allow the chain to fall all the way down. The new lower locker was then glassed all the way around, and a drain pipe glassed in, with a hose running through the vberth lockers and exiting into the bilge just aft of the mast. This seems to have worked well at keeping the water where it should be, as I've never had a drop of moisture under the vberth (and the Lofrans Progress 1 windlass loves to rinse the chain in heavy rain). The added benefit is that my 135' of chain is a bit lower in the boat, and there is more freefall if I want to add more chain (previously there was 200'). The original large access hole was filled in and a ~12x12" door installed for checking on the chain & rode.
Good luck with your fix. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Thu, May 27, 2021 at 11:25 AM Michael Crombie via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > So I had a forward bulkhead problem too on my 33ii.
