Anchor Locker


     Al takes on an anchor locker update.

 

    The anchor locker on our 1969 P-35 was not very functional in that it had no where for water from the rode or hawse pipe to go other than to collect under the V-berth. We are planning to add an anchor roller and hawse pipe but wanted a better anchor locker.

Attached photos of rebuild of anchor locker to: Add bottom pan with drain & hose which leads back to the main bilge Add shelf with drain holes for rode The bottom pan is a fiberglass mat formed into the shape of the bottom of the anchor locker. A 3/4" drain was glassed into the pan and 20' of drain hose attached prior to glassing the pan into the locker. As the pan was slid into place, the drain hose was fed under the V-berth water tank and back to the main bilge.

Two support stringers were then glassed in to support the shelf.

The shelf is a 1/2" thick piece of plastic with drain holes. The shelf is removable for access to the pan.

This was only a small part of extensive rebuild of the interior including: Varnishing all interior woodwork New cabin sole New head, holding tank, plumbing, and thru hull (replaced the old Monomatic) New head shower/sink sump Total galley rebuild including re-positioning of the ice box and alcohol bottle cupboard Rebuilt the engine Replaced all thru hulls Replaced all fresh water plumbing Replaced all AC wiring Will post photos of some of the more interesting stuff.
