Knowledge is never wasted. Maybe in this life you'll work on them and it'll come in handy. Plumbing it into the exhaust would be fixing a...
For those who wish to continue this stupid debate I suggest you do a simple Google search about draining condensate. You will find that any...
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.
I can't believe an "experienced captain" would go "years" without cleaning their bilge. Talk about "gross". Not only gross but incompetent. Not...

Just gets boring. Reminds me of my dead brother who, once he started drinking had to argue about everything. Only his (drunk) opinion was right....
J you're just looking to argue. If your bilge pump is properly located it's no such thing. This is nonsense. OP just turn on your dehumidify...
Most bilge pump setups I've encountered would kick it overboard at about 1 gallon, about 1". BTW, on that 66 you probably have 4 or 5 A/C units...
That looks like a pretty normal set up where the higher pump would be connected to an alarm, but what is that electrical gizmo near the pumps?...
If the OP in Mass. set his temp to 77* it'd almost never turn on during the most humid days and nights, just a few days during the height of...
Fresh water taken from the air is more nasty than the salt water already in your bilge from a dripping shaft, vents, anchor chains, etc.? Why...
I was just looking at a pic of an A/C control panel similar to what used to be on most boats I ran, and it was a triangle push to turn it to...
Totally agree. The amount of condensate is minor. Why put another hole in the boat or plumb into your sump? What's the difference which pump...
Most a/c's have a dehumidify (HU) setting so it's not constantly running and won't turn your boat into a freezer while your away. It's been...
Go to the SEARCH feature and put in Seakeeper. There's several threads that may help.
No shortcuts with gasoline. Wouldn't trust epoxy long term especially considering how much corrosion may be inside the tank, and a corroded tank...
A blast of compressed air could well do the snaking of the vent hose. More than likely some spiders set up housekeeping.
If you're seeing a sag and it's preventing you from fueling I'd say the line is compromise, and simply removing the dip could lead to a blowout....
If that "line" is a snake, not a good idea.
At almost 40 years old you'll be chasing it part after part dollar after dollar. Sure you can't break the new unit down for installation?
