Hello, Everyone. I have a an '81 O'day 22 and have a few of questions.
1. I would like some advice on how much tension should be on the leeward side upper and lower shrouds. I have not professionally tuned my rigging outside of ensuring the uppers are taught, the mast is plumb, and the lowers are hand tight. But the leeward shrouds when tacking become slack so I wanted to ask.
2. I visited my boat yesterday and discovered the cockpit full of water. The drain is clogged. Does anyone fit a strainer of any type to keep debris out?
3. First let me say I am aware of the vast amount of discussion on repairing port lights. I simply wanted to know, with respect to an O'day, if there are any quirks to be aware of when resealing. I plan to use Dow 795 unless anyone thinks I'm wrong to use it.
As always, thank you.
