Hello, Salty Folks -
I am contemplating buying a 1975 H27, Hull # HUN50235M75K. The owner wants $3000 plus $324 for winter storage. It is in delightful condition, well equipped, and including that the bulkheads are NOT bowed or warped, and the sliding doors are actually still there, work well, and look good. It has a bent rudder post, but I am a mechanical engineer and work in a shop where I can do stainless steel fabrication. But I need to know some facts:
1) Is there an auxiliary pump on that model allowing me to pump the waste tank out through a thru-hull into a bucket or something, or do I have to suck it out through the deck waste fitting (which would be kind of difficult because the boat is on the hard)?
Other than this, it still needs to be winterized, which I think I have under control but any suggestions or insights including rudder removal hints are certainly welcome. Thank you -
Michael
