[Public-list] Cockpit Locker Leaks and Spinnaker Pole

[Mike Lehman]

Check the connections on the hose from the locker - also [very likely] the 
hose is clogged with debris. The hose routes the water from the cockpit 
locker to the cockpit and then the water drains to the the cockpit drain 
from the cockpit. These hoses need to be cleared frequently.

My wife Ann and I just bought #152 and brought her back to Annapolis over 
the weekend.  We have our first two (undoubtedly of many) questions for the 
list.

Spinnaker Pole:

We need to replace the spinnaker pole on the boat.  I've checked around on 
prices for the Forespar 2.5" kit and for the individual pieces but was 
wondering if the 2.5 is sufficient or if we should be looking at the 3" pole 
(which seems overkill to me).  Also, does anyone have a good source for 
cheap pieces, or, better yet, does anyone (in the Annapolis area) have a 
spare pole they would be willing to part with?

Cockpit Locker Leak;

I was at the boat tonight when a thunderstorm rolled in (for those of you in 
the area, yes, that storm).  I was happily lounging down below waiting for 
it to pass when I noticed a fairly noticeable stream of water rolling down 
the port side of the companionway.  I think it is draining out of the port 
cockpit locker (which is inadequately sealed on the outside and in the 
process of being replaced) and down the side of the fore/aft hull stringers 
that the engine mounts sit on.  It appears through a small hole, just under 
and forward of the short hose that comes out just behind the cockpit steps 
and drains into the bilge, and empties onto the companionway floor and rolls 
forward until it disappears back into the bilge up around the head 
compartment.  Is this a well known problem?  Do I just need to tear out the 
hose and all the sealant and re-bed it in the stringer or is there a more 
substantial repair in my future?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Ann & Andrew Cole
