I ended up not including a water maker in my 6HP generator/SCUBA compressor, so I am selling the components for the water maker. I rebuilt a Wanner pump (which is way, way better than the CAT and Giant pumps must folks use) with all marine specified components (Hasteloy valves, etc) after consulting with Wanner. Turns out the US Navy uses this pump a lot for pumping very high pressure sea water.
Anyway, if you are interested, here is the information.

I am having trouble posting as well.
Looking for information regarding main wire to rope haylard, and anyone with info on replacing it. With same or all rope?
Recently moved my runing backstays out board to accomodate a bimini top. Raise my mizzen about 4 inches as well. Love the head room. Makes the mizzen a little difficult to get at
to flake and cover. but the shade is cool. 95″ X 60″ X 43.5″ -
Chad,
I replaced all halyards with all rope, Sta-Set X, a number of years ago. I'd recommend 7/16″.On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 1:16 PM, chad wrote:

Chad,
“Have you run your main back to the cockpit? “No, I haven't for several reasons.
1. I do a lot of single-handing and unless I run the reef lines back to the cockpit I'd end up going back and forth between the cockpit and the mast to put in or take out a reef.
2. Running the halyards back to the cockpit introduces unnecessary (IMO) friction and you lose a lot natural mechanical advantage (pulling back rather than down). From the mast I can pull the main sail 75-80% of the way up by hand. From the cockpit I doubt I could get it more than 40% up. That means a lot of cranking on a winch, which is the slow way to raise a sail.
3. Halyards led to cockpit are the norm on racing boats, but they sail with a large crew. One of the strongest and tallest crew members is normally at the mast and he pumps the halyard to pull the sail 80% or more of the way up while the crew member in the cockpit just tails. Then cockpit winch is used to provide the final trim on the halyard. That approach might work for a cruising couple, but I don't see a major advantage. The advantage for the racer is that they play with the halyard to trim the sail in light air conditions. They can do that without sending anyone on deck and change the boat trim.I know a lot of people do run their halyards (and reef lines) to the cockpit and are very happy with that arrangement. I've raced on boats with cockpit led halyards, but I've never considered them for my cruising boat.
I wanted to go with the mast pulpits that many others recently put on their 424s, but those pulpits would have interfered with my on deck dinghy storage.110' should be more than enough for each halyard. Gives you a margin for error for those eye-splices. At least I always need two or three tries to get a nice tight eye splice in Sta-Set X.

John, Thanks, It will be rope then. 110' 7/16 should be sufficient, Im guessing.

Looked at your site. Good stuff. Im on the York River if you ever get my way. #97
