Drains
Here's a quick post about drains. I made some for both the BSI hatch pans, and for the propane locker. After a bit of back and forth, I settled on using .414 tubes of windsurfing fame, for the hatch drains. The propane locker got a .5" ID carbon tube to stay legal. I didn't get pics of it all, but here's a couple quick snaps.
The propane drain must not have any low spots, or traps. Do make my system work, I have a very intricate drain that involves several L's before making a long run to the transom to exit downhill, but above the waterline to avoid any vapor lock. First I tacked my parts together using an ultra-fine bead of thickened epoxy. After that cured, I wrapped some carbon around the outside and clamped with upside-down electrical tape using the normal method.
