[Alberg30] installing the head

[EddieDiver at aol.com]

On Emotional Rescue #303, we installed the head on a raised plywood "floor" 
approximately 6 inches above the cabin sole. The ends of the plywood are 
supported on wood cleats screwed and glued to the two bulkheads; cabin and 
vee-berth. The 6 inch clearance allows for the elbow from the thru-hull to be 
turned horizontal. Into the elbow we screwed a bronze ball valve with a 
handle. To allow clearance for the handle, and for one's fingers to move the 
handle, we cut a "slit" in the plywood floor. Six inches long, with rounded 
ends. We did not want the handle to be horizontal and sticking out into the 
passageway. It would be easy to step on it in that position. Ed. Schroeder
