Hello all,
It just occured to me that there may be someone interested in making a trip with me from this website. On Monday I will be taking my Hoyt32 from Beaufort, NC to St. Augustine, FL. Hopefully the weather will be such that I can go outside and make good time-don’t want to do the ICW. I have one person helping me but could always use another. I will be there for a couple of weeks to try to recoop $1025.00 that a sailmaker there stole from me, thru small claims court, then I will be going again, this time to my final destination for this winter, to Marathon, FL (Boot Key). I need crew for that trip. Don’t want to spend weeks doing the ICW.
If anyone is interested please email me or I can send my phone number.

I DOES help.It has its own thru hull now but the ideas behind moving the thru hull is to make it handier, sturdier, larger, shorter, simpler, more “shut off-able”, and, hopefully, to end up with more capacity and efficient. By process of elimination, the cooling water system very well could be my problem. “Short cycle” is certainly not the problem, the unit runs constantly. The air leakage from the bilge, if any, would be immeasurably tiny.I’m getting, at most, a 15 degree drop in temperature between the grilles
and the return. Flagship said that is considered acceptable. A friend measured the rate of the cooling water flow and its change in temperature. I don’t know the calculation but he declared it to be about 10,000 BTU.Knowledge-wise, I’m completely out of my element with A/C. I don’t know doodle, I just want my Yankee ass to be cool. Thanks for your info, it helps a lot. Yours, combined with others, says "it almost HAS to be the cooling water."Thanks again,Rick
