Spare raw water intake

[Richard Carlisle]

So the boat has a water maker that hasn’t been used in years. If I spend the money to get it working, I wouldn’t use it enough to keep it running properly, so I’m going to remove it. That Leaves me with a spare raw water intake. Other than a raw water wash down, can you guys think of a use for the unused intake?

An ice maker uses water from your fresh water tank, not raw water.

I didn't see an ice maker in the original post. A water maker converts sea water to potable water.

Since you have a large enough boat for a water maker, you probably have all the other accoutrements for boating. I would probably cap it with an additional thru hull in case anything else came up.

I know it's tough any where north of the C&D cannel, but bridge A/C is the first thing that comes to my mind.
No doubt, white Stamoid or a hardtop would help immensely.

Ha! I read what he wrote (water maker) but by the time I responded, it had turned into "ice maker" in my head.

I can't think of anything else, besides a raw water washdown, that it could be used for.
