[Public-list] Atomic four intake seacock location

[Rod Symmes]

Rachel;
    Putting the through hull on the opposite side of the engine may have been done to give a gentle sweep to the hose.
Be careful that changing to the near side doesn't require such sharp bends that the hose kinks.

Cheers,    Rod

  I am sorry if I offended you - I just did not see any point in moving the 
  engine intake from the port side to the starboard side. Apparently you see a 
  benefit in doing that - so go for for it!

  What I don't get is the ire.  I mean, I thought I made it clear why I
  was *thinking* about moving the through-hull.  And I certainly respect
  the basic design of the boat.  However, after seeing -- for example --
  the way the bilge was constructed at Whitby, I have no illusions that
  the boat was constructed in the best possible way at all times, and I
  believe that certain things can be improved.  What I don't like are
  ill-conceived, poorly executed "improvements" that weren't thought
  through in the first place.  I'm putting a lot of effort into NOT doing
  that, but posting about it here can be rather discouraging.

  If replacing a 40-year old gate valve that was on a "through hull" that
  consisted of a piece of pipe peened over a washer makes me a "NEO
  Marine Architect" then so be it.

  Possibly interested in selling - contact me offline if you are
  interested.  Boat is located in lower Chesapeake Bay.
