Sound insulation and bilge pump outlet

While watching this it suddenly struck me that part of what I enjoy is that you figure things out and if mistakes are made you mention why you think it happened, how you think it would have worked out best and then you just let it go. I like your Philosophy.

Thanks Earl. I do like to experiment with different techniques rather than just doing things the established way. Of course that usually helps me to learn why people do things the established way! :)

Great idea to run the bilge line through the bulwark, ABOVE the deck. Now the bilge line isn't a down-flooding point. Greg

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, I am a bit paranoid about having them too close to the waterline.

[@newjerseybill3521]

Stu. Don't forget a "High Bilge level alarm." Mount a bilge pump float switch higher than the bilge pumps, then wire it to the boats electric horn through a relay. That way if something goes awry when the boat is unattended, hopefully someone would get annoyed with the horn going off and would complain to someone.

[@richardmickinak318]

Hi Stu, The only thing that is missing from the steel trawler is back-up propulsion. The back-up, Grey Marine six cylinder, got us out a bind on the FV Tommy on Lake Superior. Hand crank starting got us underway and charged the batteries enough to start the main engines. Just a thought from the U.S..

[@MrCrabbing]

What I would say having done my own trawler is have all your pump outlets up through the deck and then overboard pretty high up, the pumps will have a head spec which is usually fairly good or the goose neck idea is great too, I wish I could link a picture of my boat re floating after grounding on sand and the bilge keel completely sinking in the sand and the boat heeling right over, glad my pump outlets were high up then

[@dbayboyds409]

MrCrabbing also when they are high you can hear the splashing when running if the engine is off

[@MrCrabbing]

@@dbayboyds409 I have accidentally flooded my dinghy though

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, I took a look at the graph from Rule showing the reduction of flow with each foot of height above the bottom of the bilge. It is surprising how high they can pump but it makes sense given how low the bilge is on some big sailing boats.

That’s a good hose being smooth on the I’d and being reinforced. They sell some cheap stiff white abs that’s corrugated and rough inside and out in the states. It’s restrictive clogs easily and becomes brittle with time. If you have this junk, replace it quick. Sometimes they have the good stuff at the big box stores.

G'day mate , forgot to mention that a super cheap alternative for hot water is , a couple of solar camp showers. It's just a thick plastic bag,15/20 litres with black on one side and you could lay them on the roof of the wheelhouse and they come with a metre or so of hose and a little plastic shower head that has a simple stop flow .. they get REALLY hot in summer after a few hrs.. could be a simple fix for a bit of luxury !

[@DangarMarine]

For sure, I've definitely been thinking that is the way I'll go. I would have the shower out on the back deck anyway so they would be perfect.

[@TR4zest]

Stu: on the clock, you can buy just the motor part very cheaply. You just have to check the type of spindle you have driving the second, minute and hour hands. Just google 'replacement quartz clock movement' They are $3-$8.

[@scottmaschino1927]

The hands will likely fit into a new movement as well if you can't find one with the same style as the old one. Generally they just push on over a plastic barrel. I have found a few that the seconds hand screws down. Can derinitely save a few bucks by just getting a new movement rather than buying thing whole thing new.

Here in the UK you can but aluminium self adhesive tape, 50mm wide for taping the joints in silver backed dry wall sheets ( Gyproc ), from DIY stores.

Bilge plumbing. Check at the hardware or plumbing supply for a dishwasher air break/checkvalve. This is required in the states to prevent sewage from back flowing into the dishwasher. It's set up for high flows so it should not restrict smaller bilge pump flows.
