Some of the mods and repairs in my C-22

Post by Gus »

I finally can post pictures of stuff I've done to the boat

Image
Inspection ports to gain access to the bolts in the stern. Measure twice, cut once, simple to do.

Image
Leaking rudder fittings.

Image
Measuring the 2 inch PVC pipe to replace the rubber hose.

Image
Glassing the PVC to the cockpit sole.

Image
Done, no more leaks!

I reused the PVC bushings original from the boat, glassed to the PVC pipe, I need to take pictures of that.

Hope this helps!

Awesome shots and thank you!

Went down to Lady Jo this evening for a sail with my daughter and a neighbor kid. 4 inches of water in her. Hmm, guess she sprung a leak.



So we did the right thing. Pumped her out and went sailing anyway! 8)
Looks like yet another project! LOL!

Well Fran, I heard them say I was sharp as a marble! LOL!!!


My first guess is the rudder post however I have not even looked yet.
I can not get there tonight but tomorrow I'll go and check her out to see how much she is leaking over two days and see if I can see the source of the leak.

Quite frankly, I believe she is jealous because I actually went sailing on Lady Di over the weekend and not her. These boats can be fickle you know . . . .

I was still looking for a suitable way to plug the access holes I made to get to my backstay and rail fittings, looks like you found a good option, looks good

With all the extra deck hardwear having many bolts sticking thru and a potential disaster due to low head room.

this seems to be a quick salution
