Heh! That "painter" is to keep my silver painted nicro or whatever-it-is cowl vent on the deck - my spiffy bronze (painted nicro or whatever-it-is) cowl one took a dive a couple of seasons ago.

Yes, and that "bump" is a classic Pearson original deck pipe fitting, as I'm certain you know.

All awaiting the time when I can afford to cough up the boat bucks for more "proper" deck bling.
