There should be a joker valve in line (check valve). It’s rubber and usually needs to be replaced every couple of years.

Re: Project: Folding steps for the engine room
Great idea. I have no problem getting in to the engine compartment but at my age and flexibility getting out is a problem, I will be looking behind the bulkhead to see what's there.

Re: Project: Folding steps for the engine room
What do you mean by the bulkhead being too far forward? The hatch opening has an overhang on the forward side?
I always liked the nonskid they put on top of the risers. Not.

Re: Project: Folding steps for the engine room
Very nice. I know my bulkhead would be a little too forward to do that. But, my step down is a little higher and works ok for now. I like that upgrade!

Re: Project: Folding steps for the engine room
Definitely. The original step was way too low. I always hated making that "leap of faith" to get my foot onto the step.
I used the new steps a lot yesterday. Much, much better.

Re: What did you do to your boat today
I was looking over and cleaning my prop nuts/thrust washers and didn’t like the way one of the outer nuts looked. There was some brass missing that exposed the nylon. I ordered two new outer nuts to be safe, everything else looked good.

I pulled off my props to clean up the shafts and get them ready for my new Hill 4x4’s. The shafts remind me of a R-1340 radial engine prop shaft. Works of art!
