Re: Stus-List Water Storage on 35-II & Drill Bit Set question
Hi Lee,Can't say much for the water, except that I'm storing some under my rudder quadrant. As for drill bits. I use cobalt bits. Little more expensive but last much longer. When drilling metal use slow speed and high pressure. Cutting oil also helps.Missed you last weekend in Port Orchard. Doug. Doug Mountjoy Sv Rebecca Leah LH39Port Orchard YC wa.

It’s not for drinking, and I don’t know how it got there, but when I pull the cap for the vent I can see it, and vacuumed out about 3 gallons today. OK I live in Seattle and it’s been raining, yea a lot, but really, how much rain comes through a few screw holes on the stern plate behind the cockpit? I only looked because my bilge pump was going off for about 20 sec. every 20 min. Water was trickling down below the engine, and s couple years ago, I tossed the boat really well, and we flushed out the construction insulation crumbs under the icebox into the pots and pans under the stove - that was a mess and another story. Anyway, does anyone else find water in the stern behind the helm position? Have you looked recently?On another note, I thought I remembered a recommendation for a good quality drill bit set for drilling metal, round plastic storage, not the usual rusting metal boxes. Anyone remember the make or link? Thanks, Lee___Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated.

Some folks have drilled holes through the inner liner and attempted to insulate with spray foam closed cell i hope On Tue, Nov 27, 2018 at 8:57 AM Steve Thomas via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > The fibreglass outer shell on the icebox of my C&C36 is not moulded as > part of the liner, but appears to be held down with screws in the same > manner as the bench seating in the cabin.

The fibreglass outer shell on the icebox of my C&C36 is not moulded as part of the liner, but appears to be held down with screws in the same manner as the bench seating in the cabin. Has anyone attempted to take this apart? Were you successful? What was involved in getting the top off? If this is doable without causing major destruction it would be the most effective way to improve the insulation.
