Re: Stus-List Boarding Ladder

Turns out my ladder definitely does hit the rudder. In fact the rudder keeps the hinges from opening all the way when it's centered. Lower two rungs are under water, the bottom one probably 18" deep. Cheers, Randy Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 13, 2016, at 6:42 AM, RANDY via CnC-List wrote: >

Every year after an extended cruise, I stop at the pump out. Hook up the suction hose, open the clean out and spray water in the tank while sucking out the tank. This helps keep the odor down, especially being a live aboard.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusLF38 #4just west of Ballard, WA.

Thanks Paul, you've got me thinking I know the vent works because the guy who did the last pump out commented that he liked the location because he could hear the vent. So, it is admitting some air, but day in day out, not a lot because it can't circulate. Any reason you can think of not

Steve, it used to be a lot worse in the ‘70s with the old breakwalls. You had to turn east at the end of the shorter eastern breakwall, travel along the shore until you were lined up with a certain house then you could turn out into the lake and pass through a dip in the sand bar. I grew up at
