Just for reference, 1 drop per second is 1.14 us gallon per day.

Hi Pierre,I was interested in your comment and went to verify it, and found a
huge disparity in results, everything from the 1.14 you mention to as much as
8 gallons per day, and some of those coming from seemingly reputable websites.
Comments anyone?Sent from Samsung tablet.

Listers,
I’m curious to know what your local clubs are doing in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. We have a regatta scheduled for April 4 and we are already discussing
cancelling the skippers meeting and post-race festivities - perhaps cancelling
the event altogether.
What are you seeing in

Our local sailing club will hold their 41st annual St. Patrick's Regatta on
21/22 March 2020. So far, they have not cancelled. The thought is that
since the competitors will be on the water with little to no (hopefully)
contact between crews or boats during the regatta we should be OK. I doubt
Per the web (?), a drop of water is 'defined' to be 0.05 mL. In this case, a
drop/second x 86400 seconds/day = 4320 mL or 4.32 L.
For my case (~ a drop/18 seconds), this is about 0.24 L/day--which is probably
consistent with my bilge content when left without the pump working.
Since I had the
Bruce,
Designed Aircraft hydraulic electric motor pumps, We used 20 drops per

fluid used has a specific gravity of .975 so it is a little thinner than

Thanks all for your replies--I might need to tighten the packing gland or
replace the packing material.
My fear about leaving the auto bilge pump on is a result of a failed float
switch many moons ago:

After two float switch failures, I switched to an electronic switch. No
more failures. Besides having a circuit breaker on the AC side of your
charger, you should have fuses in the DC side,

My charger outputs go only to the batteries, which power the relay panel
switches/breakers, one of which is the bilge pump. Should I use a fuse on the
battery positive terminal in addition to the circuit breakers on the breaker
panel?

Put a fuse, close to the charger, between the charging outputs and the
batteries. The charger manual should tell you what size fuse to use. My

Hey edd, hope all is well with you. My local club, lake Townsend yacht club,

Look at the Ultra Safety Systems bilge switch.

It is contained in a tube so nothing will hold it in the on position. Extremely
reliable switch.

In my opinion, bilge pumps should wired to a house battery. A dedicated wire
should run from the battery or its connection on the back of the battery switch
to a purpose made bilge pump “on-off-auto” switch with self contained fuse.

Our club just closed the bar and clubhouse, and Sunday races are cancelled
for the next 3 weekends. Other local clubs are revoking reciprocals also,
but I haven't heard about regattas being cancelled yet. I suspect they will
be.

The short red wire connects power from one fuse to the other instead of
having two longer leads from the power source. Definitely replace the fuse
holders. I recommend replacing the fuse holders with fuse holders from an
automotive parts store, if you can mount them close to the power source..

Hi all, I started the process of removing my rudder. I have loosened the
quadrant and cables attached to it and removed the bearing on the top of
the rudder. Should it now just drop out? What else needs to be done?.
Thanks all.

Equalization is not a problem as long as you water the batteries before and
more importantly AFTER each cycle. There is a point of diminishing returns
regarding equalizing but I'm not sure there is a point of damage beyond
boiling dry.

On the MK I, once you get the collar and the quadrant off, it should be
free. I had to wiggle mine and pull it to get it out. It was
surprisingly light once I got it loose, no issue carrying it around.

IIRC, on my C&C 39 I removed the collar, (first block the bottom of the
rudder)
Loosened the quadrant, , and drove a screwdriver or pry bar into the slot on
the back, to hold it open a little bit so it would slip.
Then I had to dig a hole and jack the back of the cradle up some.

When we rebuilt our rudder several years ago, it did take removal of

rudder) to accept the weight of the rudder before removing the
