A direct replacement for the opening portlights on the F30 is an improved model from Bomar #2515-SA available from Defender. I ordered and installed these a couple of years ago and they're a perfect fit.

Re: Masthead removal
When I rewired my mast I did the zip tie thing and it's never been a problem with the halyards. Nice not to have the mess of decomposing foam too.

Re: F30 Freshwater Pump Replacement
It's a little Whale Flipper hand pump just outboard of the main sink faucet. I have discovered that I need to keep the lever in the fully down position or air gets into the line and triggers the electric pump.

Re: F30 Freshwater Pump Replacement
I can still fit a nesting set of pots and some cleaning supplies under the sink.

Re: F30 Freshwater Pump Replacement
Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delay. Here are some pics of my water pump under the counter beside the galley sink. The tee in the hose is to a manual pump.

F30 icebox drain

Start wrapping tightly from the bottom - right at deck level - and work your way up until you're wrapping just around the mast. Once you use silicone, if you need to pull the mast you'll have a very difficult time gettin...
