SenecaDaze,

Doesn't your cockpit cooler drain .. drain into the cockpit ? (mine does) IF so, do you really want to have the bilge pump discharge into your cockpit (oil, dirt, grime and all) ?

Just a thought..

oil,dirt ,grime??? if my bilge has them i suspect a more serious problem.
besides most comments i have heard about the bilge on the hunter 22 is how dry it is.
Cockpits need cleaning on a regular basis anyhoot.
There will be kids,a dog and probably unwanted seagull leftovers.

cleaning does not bother me.

This is the way I found my cockpit drain lines in my H22. You can see the leak at the bottom of the tee assembly.

I have had a few boats and really like my H-22 but when I see things like that it makes me question what the quality controle was doing or not doing. I have seen or heard of so many questionable practices by the boat industry I serriously doubt I would ever spend money on a new boat. I had a Carver 28 voyager one time and the wood work for the engine logs had to be designed with one thing in mind, failure in a few years.

Any way as sailing goes I find the H 22 a great boat to often overlooked.
Good Sailing.
