Just wanted to close the loop. This board is great, and I appreciate all the support and advice I recieved from posters when my Hunter was sank during a routine bottom cleaning (knocked in the knot meter transducer) At anyrate, I gave it the college try, but she is for sale on ebay. A simple seach for Cherubini will pull up the listing. This post is not meant to be spam for my sale, she is pretty much sold aready. I'm meerly posting so other sailboat owners can witness my loss(es)!, and possible learn from this mistake. After the sale....I'm getting another one - I just don't have the know-how and patience to bring this one back. Cheers, Neil

33' Hunter
st a suggestion...I never put any thru hulls that are not manditory on my boat. I use a inside mount depth gage and a GPS for my speed. Novelman

what about current?
I have been sailing, boating, fishing and diving in southern California for more than 30 years (I started with a hand held compas only) and out to the offshore islands and have never been in a situation where current effects my navigation when using GPS or Loran. I do understand that it can be a problem in other places but not here. Novelman

RE..33ft Hunter Cherubini
Sorry, I remember when you posted the first event. I don't see how a drive could push the paddle wheel in? They have 2 o-rings and are screwed into the tube with the black plastic piece. The boat looked like you keep in in great condition. Repower is going to cost at least 10k. Then you have to fix the electrical system. Ouch! All the electronic must be gone. She going to need a lot of love! I am guess at least 12k to bring her back if you have to repower. I can't see how you will not have to repower unless you drained the water out of the engine right away? You should have dropped the oil pain and let it dry out before starting the engine.

Unfortunate situation; what about insurance?
Unless you used a sledge hammer to clear the barnacles from your hull the breakup of the hull or knotmeter would qualify as an accidental ocurrence covered by most marine policies.
