Great job. How did you manage to get the fittings under the sink out? There is very little work area. Did you remove something in order to replace it? My drain fitting is corroded also.
Did you replace it?
Thanks/

I just starting to move the faucet left to right, several times until it got loose, then the difficult part, I put my head under the sink and try to get my body as far as I could inside the cabinet, then unscrew the screw underneath the sink, the difficult part is the access , after I removed the old faucet, I just screwed the new one.
I had to buy an extra extension for the faucet supply to reach the existing connection.

This won't answer your question, but when my cockpit fridge rusted out, I threw it away and installed a door. I found the massive storage space under the bridge stairs to be much more valuable to me than a small outdoor fridge.
 
When I bought my "96" we didn't know the cockpit freezer didn't work. When we tried to turn it on it kept popping the breaker. After removing the freezer we found that there was a long term water leak from the freezer. This caused the deck under the stairs to rot out. The rot continued into the cockpit. So, after repairing the cockpit, I put plywood down under the stairs, had a custom door made, and now have a great storage compartment. Actually, the door is a stock size from a custom plastic company near me. I don't miss the ice and love the storage. Once again, sorry for the sideways.

you guys might be right .I am seriously thinking about storage instead .thank you
 
I pulled the ice maker to run a HDMI wire, and I see how much space is under the steps. If the freezer dies, I'm turning it into storage
 
My ice maker wasn't working either. I pulled it out and saw all that sexy storage space. I fixed the ice maker, but I'm not sure if I'll put it back in. If I can fit the 9.9 evinrude in there, the ice maker is going on Craigslist. Who wants nasty dock water ice anyway.

That might be a tough one. I would be curious.
 
Does anyone know if the long exhaust hose on the starboard engine is above the waterline? I may need to remove the muffler just forward of it and am trying to figure out if I can do it in the water or have to do a haul out. This is the Cummins exhaust version.

Sorry if this isn't helpful. My Cat exhaust hoses connect to the through hull via a fiberglass connection. The water comes up 1/4" below the rubber exhaust hose. When we changed out our water heater we couldn't completely remove the hose. We were afraid of boat movement and such causing the water to come in.
 
Thanks Mike. That helps. The mechanics around here stick a fender (of the appropriate size) in them if they need to in order to prevent what you mentioned.
 
Bill, the hose is above the water line, you can disconnect it and remove the muffler, but of course you should never disconnect bilge hoses and leave the boat unattended without a reliable and positive "plug" in the line.

I need to get into a similar project (stbd side), to repair a drip in the rubber exhaust elbow. I'm having a tough time seperating the muffler from that long length of hose. It seems the muffler fiberglass tube is 12 inches inside the hose. The exhaust is still in good shape, otherwise I'd chop it out.

It is a long connection. Patience and WD 40. Keep working it. Eventually it will move.
 
Yeh, no "easy" button on this job. Thanks for the confirmation though. Did you leave the muffler in place?

I am chasing the same thing as you. I get seawater when on plane on the starboard side above the highest stringer, only when on plane. Not a lot. I am still debugging trying to find the source. I have ruled out that its coming in from the outside via the transom. So I have blue paper towels taped up all over the exhaust joints trying to find this. SO far I have ruled out that exhaust elbow you mentioned and the forward short exhaust hose connected to the mixing elbow. But I found a curious gouge in the far side of the muffler where some freshwater plumbing and some wires go by it.

Just an odd thought here. Did you check the muffler drain plug?
 
Here is what I'm chasing. I get this dirty sooty mess in the bilge. Initially I though it was just a transom leak, and re-calked the seam. After that was fixed, I noticed rusty staining on the exhaust.

I would just bite the bullet and spend the $300 to cut out and replace the exhaust hose (to make my life easy)....but I blew all my money on 8" orange fenders....:grin:
 
Paul, have you tried to remove the rubber elbow that you show above? It's quite pliable and was relatively easy to get off when I needed to crawl back into to the other side and pull out the auto pilot pump to stop a steering leak. once the elbow was off, I was able to free the pipe to the muffler without too much trouble. If I remember right, the hose came free of the muffler instead of off the pipe, but mission accomplished.
