They are making some paints now designed to be rolled and self level without
tipping. Alexseal looks like the best product today. The prep is the same for
any paint, so take your time, research and choose wisely.

My 25 year old topside/deck is looking pretty tired—some fiberglass is showing
through in places.
The Kiwi non-skid applied about 6 years ago is fine and is easily touched up.
I am thinking of doing the non-non-skid with a brush and tip method (?) using a
1 part paint, taping the non-skid off.

My 1976 Custom 42 came with the cheap bathroom-style drains described in an
earlier note. I am replacing mine with white marelon Forespar drains, which I
did decades ago on a Ranger 26. They are much more robust than what’s being
replaced, and I do not view cockpit drains to be as critical as
My 1981 40 – 2 is metal…
I would prefer metal for that critical component.

I think the older C&C's, from the early 1970's, used Bathroom Sink drains like
this for cockpit drains:

Warning to squeeze bulb users – these things were never intended to used INSIDE
a boat. I have had more than one of them split and spray me. If used for a
diesel inboard, I would carry a spare and check the condition of it regularly.
They will get sucked flat if the tank pickup is clogged, which
Check Defender.com they have a lot of good parts and good prices.
