With stern tube, cutlass bearing and propeller shaft repairs behind and hopefully soon forgotten, it's time to get on to more important things!

The cockpit hatch was a timely and vastly worthwhile improvement! I cannot imagine trying to work on the innards below the cockpit without it. If you're thinking about installing one and wondering if it'll be worth it - JUST DO IT!
I can't speak for the water tightness yet, since I have improperly non-bedded hardware all over the deck and coach roof which is undoubtedly the primary source of my water intrusion...

Don't forget the hull to deck joint That one can be a major source -- if you get your top rail down.Originally Posted by mbd
Ah, yes. Well, after the leak below the waterline was fixed I figured I'd start from the top down. I'll get to the rub rail eventually.
Speaking of rub rails, there was a nice rub rail on a beautifully restored Triton going around the Triton list last week - Jim Bissonnette's Triton 557. Never seen this done before, but I like it!
Let's see if I can find it. Yes, here it is...

Mike, thanks for posting some sailing pictures. Its nice to see these boats in the water. She looks great!
Hey! Jim added more pictures to the Triton MIR site too. We've been studying his head/shower, trying to glean information from the pictures. But I didn't find the picture you posted above. What list is that from?
Thanks Tony! They are some nice little boats.
The Yahoo Triton list. He emailed me some offline - beautiful! I can send 'em along off-line if you like...
