So I have a composting head now, and the sink has a new drain above the waterline. There is no need for the old ones, plus those styles of valves never belong on boats. Also they had some makeshift wood shims incorporated. I did not like the looks of them.
@@Jezfamilysailingadventures great video and explanation. I was thinking eliminating those too to avoid leaks. Also having sink water above the water line makes sense. Thank you 🙏 great channel
I understood that you were suppose to make a taper 10 times the diameter of the whole for repairs? Why did you go with so much less and only 2 layer of fiberglass? That is not much if you take a hit from something in the water
Hi, great questions. And I'm sure my video doesn't give this info any justice. Regarding the glass layup, this video only shows the first two layers of I believe 7 layers I applied. I started small and increased each in size. I felt this way each individual peace would contact the existing hull on the perimeter of the each layed fabric. Then filled hole from interior within thickened epoxy. Then layers of glass from interior. Holes were 1 and 2 inch. My biggest fabric was 16" x 12". Is this not big enough?
why eliminating the valves
