Probably needs a total re-built
October 29: Preparations for the regatta ongoing. I only want to take the rubbish off the boat, but when touching the hoses of the bathroom sink, the wastewater connection to the through hull fitting breaks off. A few other parts also break. Now I need to go hardware shopping to get a plug before the race.
Update October 30: After the first race of the All Souls Regatta there was quite a bit of water in the bilge. We were heeling a lot and according to Joel the water most likely entered in the head through the through hull openings of the toilet, which are disconnected. Some of them are clogged.
This needs sorting out, ideally in the dry dock, because I am worried the old plastic will just crack like that of the bathroom sink. Would not be good for the fittings below the waterline. In the meantime maybe we can clog the openings from the outside.
I tell the helper to remove the faucet and sink. He works on it for a while, but the paper knife is too short to reach all the areas that are filled with silicone. Next time.
October 28: Started to take the electrical toilet controls out.
