Griff So far she has filtered half the upper Thurne in under 24 hours. We do need the flow to lessen aft before we stick another three inches of hull underwater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 is it that the night watchman refuses to sleep aboard in case she sinks, pitiful lack of confidence, or because it's too hot to be below? Will a float switch on the pump not make said N.W. redundant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 there is a float switch on at least one of the pumps (I know, I fitted it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'm guessing the boat will never become fully water tight? But how long before the amount of water it is taking on isn't a worry anymore? (As you might have guessed I know very little about wooden boats ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 We are not worried. RT is behaving just as expected. There is always a waiting game when a wooden boat has been out of the water long term. At one point yesterday we were concerned and had five pumps running constantly. Right now it is one pump running and the second pump cutting in for about a minute and then stopping for seven minutes. That's pretty good in 24 hours. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
