Hi Everyone,

I am sorry to be out of contact so long that Cindy has to describe my boat!
I am in a remote part of Costa Rica for several months (land trip) with
only occasional access to Internet.

Here is what boat info I can supply now-
The fuel system is a custom made dual racor filter system with a manifold to
switch bewteen filters on the run. It is mounted on a board attached
laterally over the cut-out behind the engine compartment.

I replaced the fuel tank with an aluminum one. The old one was leaking
beyond repair.

The Specrta water maker is modularized. The main pump is on a shelf I had
built way back under the port side of the cockpit seat. The other
components are attached at various convenient places to the hull under
cockpit. I had a new throgh-hull installed that feeds the watermaker and,
when the ball valve is open, the sea water pump in the galley.

When I get back this summer, I'll try to send pictures of all this.
