    Then I cut a big hole in the deck

    I've wanted to do this but can't bring my self to do it. My fuel tank is in the forward hold. If I was content on keeping my boat I would make drain along rim of deck and my the entire panel hinged and latched. I only plan to keep the boat till the spring so I dont want to invest the time.

    Deck hatch re-core 265

    I'm replacing the hoses on my old teleflex steering. One end is the same and the new seastar hose. The end the goes to the copper is different. Its larger and goes to a flared union. Has anyone ran into this?
