Another day of great progress...
After this morning's 'hold your breath and drill' moment, i've managed to fit 3 more outlets above the waterline... 2 for bilge pumps and one for fridge...
Was interesting on the starboard side where i've fitted one outlet... hull is nearly 2" thick!!!!!
I've also disassembled all the bronze seacocks and lapped them in, then reassambled... only worry is that i won't be around when she relaunches, so nervous about whether they remain watertight... If i get far enough, I may see if they can relaunch Friday instead while I am still about.
The seacocks didn't seem too worn though, but not being familiar with them not 100% sure if they are OK.
Pics to follow
If all goes well tomorrow reinstating the pipework to the seacocks, I might even be able to start antifouling.
