      Slip,

      I don’t think I ever put it on my websites, but have
      almost certainly emailed it to someone in this group in
      the past. Also, it’s slated to appear in SAIL’s March
      2014 issue as a Cruising Tip.

      What I made with PVC has served me well and I’d do it
      again with no changes, but it’s probably not
      ABYC-kosher and boat insurance companies might take
      issue with it. If you feel compelled to please them,
      you can make the same thing out of bronze for a few
      hundred dollars’ worth of pieces. Whatever you do, DO
      NOT USE BRASS. It will fail within a year or two. Note
      that I have a separate, dedicated thru-hull for the
      engine raw water intake. It does not pull from the
      manifold.

      PS: Please do NOT post the attached illustrations
      online. SAIL magazine has first rights to publish them.
      Thanks.

      Have fun,

      Tor

      But you knew that.

      Thanks Tor. To be honest I wouldn’t swear where I saw the photo but do remember seeing it somewhere. Thanks for posting. Will honor your request but darn I was planning to sell the plans on eBay. There goes my latest get rich quick scheme.

      And I’ll answer to most anything, Skip, Skipper, Skippy, Slip, Zip, Hey you.
