Make from:
1 gallon water
¼ cup Borax
2 Tablespoons TSP
2 Tablespoons Washing Soda
Mix in the water, shake vigorously for a few minutes then swirl to confirm
mixing is complete.
Usage:
Wet moldy surface, the amount that can be worked in 20 minute
I'll bet you the reason there is water in the chain locker, is the angle of
the boat. In our yard, the dockmasters have always had this bent towards
blocking the boats in a bow up attitude, they say for drainage. I have been
unable to convince them that boats are designed to drain as they sit in th
Hi Matt. My Bruckman 38 MKII has the very same limber hole problemItried yo get at them from the other side, but the ones at the bulkhead chainplate locker are closed off with cabinetry.After this discussion, after I confirm that they are even open, I will try the poured epoxy idea from the esr
Matt,
After reading the thoughtful comments already sent in, my answer is “all of the

I like it, too. However, drilling out copper tubes in tight locations seems
like a burdensome way to go. I suspect he’s correct about why the holes were
not placed flush (the drill getting in the way), but this could have been
easily remedied by drilling up from downhill of the hole where ther
I like Joel's suggestion; opening up the hole down to the hull surface, then
putting sealer or epoxy in replacement of the tubing to keep the water from
soaking into the hull...; my personal solution is an assortment of sponges and
turkey basters

Good suggestion, but I think the holes are lined with copper tubing or
something to transport the water. I could re-construct each limber hole, but
I’m hoping for a simpler solution.

Dremel with a flex shaft to lower the holes?

Thanks, Chuck. I’m good about keeping a reasonably dry bilge. In addition,
because I’m at a dock with electricity, I keep a dehumidifier on board as well
as fan to constantly circulate air. I rarely encounter a mold issue. However,
I do have small puddles of sitting water just above the limb
The limber holes on my boat have the same problem.They probably couldn't
make the holes any lower because the drill body drill chuck would hit the floor
before the drill bit. I found a clean bilge makes the boat smell fresh, so I
wet/vac the bilge periodically to stay ahead of problems. I
Martin:
Question for a fellow Bruckmann “stick” boat owner (or anyone
else with a suggestion): when Bruckmann built boats, limber holes were
installed in most of the needed locations. However, the bottoms of the limber
holes are rarely flush with the area being drained. As
