I have 10 feet of 3/4" intake hose for the raw water pump laying in the motor well. I can hook a 25' garden hose to it and 6' discharge to this male connedtion. Now I can pump water from anywhere within 35' of the stern of our boat. This also gives us a total of 3 bildge pumps.
On the starboard side is the same female connection hooked up to our fresh water pump.

We put the "Dry Deck" down and still found a lot of muck from wet days on the dock or walking on land, accumulating on the floor. We put the mats down and found it easier to clean our shoes and then shake the mats over board to keep all the floors clean. We sometime put one on the dock to clean our feet.

16. I insulated and cushioned all the storage compartments in the hull with 1/2" white open cell foam sheeting. We now have no condensation in our storage compartments. we also cruise all year round here in British Columbia. With the cabin interior lined and all the hull storage areas lined with insulation, and the Wallas stove, we have little concern for condensation problems.
