Paul – great blog, lotsa detail. You have piqued my curiosity with your
active holding tank vent project. I have a rather ‘piquant’ poly holding tank
in my 33-2. I changed the in and out (but not the vent) hoses and still I get
a stench, particularly when the adjoining lockers are opened.
FWIW, I would work out the best way to securely mount it on the transom. This
keeps it usable when hove to, out of the way most of the time, and accessible
when needed.
I recently amused myself while sailing singlehanded by losing my spinnaker (in

This is caused by slippage inside the transmission - a bronze cone mates

Not an expert but I would mix a thickened batch of epoxy loaded with

In my case, was not suggesting it is superior, I just prefer to purchase
the raw materials. This way, I can use unfilled as a first coat, make a
putty for the fill, and laminate at the end. Same epoxy, sometimes even
the same batch for multiple applications/jobs. YMMV.
