Jp: I made mine out of 1x4 fir epoxied to the bottom of the deck so that it extended about 2" under the hatch. I used a bowl routing bit which has a flat bottom with radiused edges and a top bearing to rout the gutter using the inside of the hatch cutout as a guide. I epoxied and faired 3/4" pvc pip...

JC: You shouldn't have to rely on the key for anything but rotational torque. The propeller should fully engage the taper and be pressed on by the nut even without the key in place! A properly fitted taper can produce enough friction, even with lubrication, that it actually absorbs some of the rotat...

I have mine outboard in the port engine box. I know its not waterproof, but 5 years ago when I bought it it was the best going. I hit it with CX occasioanlly and it seems just fine. I don't need to wash my engine boxes much, and when i do I'm just careful with the hose. I have had it charging the sa...

Those are short hoses that run to the blige water pickup (intake) screens, for running the engines off of bilge water in the event of a big leak, and are not plumbed to the outside of the hull. There is something missing though, that got finished after the pictures were taken- was wondering if anyo...

Scot: I used 3/4" plywood. The drip gutters are 3/4" fir epoxied to the main deck and then routed with a bowl router bit which had a 3/4" flat bottom profile with a 1/4" radius on the edge and a top guide bearing. It followed the profile of the hatch exactly and worked very well. The only change I w...

I did my own because Cabrerra hadn't come out with (or I didn't know about) their big hatch decks at the time. I built it out of marine fir plywood epoxied on all 6 sides. I used a template and 1/4" carbide spiral router bits to cut out the hatches. That way I was able to use the cutout as the hatch...

I've thought about closing off my cabin bilge, but I agree with Mike about the water concentration. If anything happened to the bilge pump between the engines, or if you take a lot of water over the transom, it will tend to lower the stern instead of running amidship. That can lower the scuppers to ...

I also have a similar setup to what Scot has. I use a Groco ball valve Safety seacock with the port built in. It is also downstream of the strainer. It is one of the best built pieces of boating equipment I have seen!! It even makes Apollo call valves seem cheesy!!! Smooth and easy to operate! I am ...
