Any suggestion about repairing small but deep gashes in the hull. Also what to do about chipping on the edge or lip of the deck just above the hull . Just took my boat out of the water for the winter. Doing some of the repairs I've read about here.

I take a small strip of rag about an inch wide and four inches long, wrap it a couple of times around the centerboard rope and push it tight against the blowhole. I get a bit of hissing but no water. Of course by the end of the season the piece of rag could be mistaken for a biology experiment, but rags are cheap. For the stern drains I simply bought a couple of 85-cent corks at the hardware store and stick them in before I leave the mooring. In the event I take on serious water (has happened a couple of times) I can just kick them out with my toe and things drain.

Actually, I trimmed a section of a piece of tubing that was too large to fit in the hole down a bit so that it would not get permanently stuck down in the hole. So all in all, it makes for a nice gasket to keep the water out of the cockpit. Having said all that, we still get water in the cockpit because even in a mild chop water seems to flow in through the stern cockpit drain holes. They have backflow prevention devices inline, but for some reason a trickle will still flow through and after awhile there is around a half inch of water sloshing around in the aft section of the cockpit. It does get above this amount because then it starts draining back out. I was considering installing some sort of ball valve shutoff for the two drain lines, but it would be bad to forget to open them up and then get a serious amount of water suddenly in the cockpit. :-( Maybe the solution is to always wear heavy rubber boots... ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 10:08:55 -0700 From: Martin.Zebzda@kp.org Subject: M_Boats: temporarily unsubscribe To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Please take me off the e-mail list at this time.

Here's a copy of his message to someone else that was looking for a ladder.
Windline makes a 4-step folding ladder that was my choice for our M17. See http://tinyurl.com/fvow7 for pictures. This ladder is used on the Potter 19, and last I checked was only available for purchase through International Marine. Here is the ladder listed for $160 on their web site http://www.westwightpotter.com/content/MiniShopProduct.phtml?0/0/177 .
I have a similar Windline model from West Marine, but it only has 3 steps. Larry On Wed, 31 Oct 2007 19:09:40 -0700 steve pearse writes:
