I get 20' sticks from plumbing supply houses. HD and the like don't carry long ones.

Yeah, good idea. I'll make a run in the morning if the 14 footer doesn't do it. I only planned on running it to the front bulkhead of the bilge since it's acting as a drain. 14 feet might do it.

Did you rough it up to prepare the PVC?

I've got the keel out and I'm grinding the glass back. That tab was pretty badly delaminated and lots of black, delaminated glass along the sides. I had to grind back quite a bit to get to clean, solid glass.

Glad I pulled this thing out.

I'm going to lay a a few layers of 1708 and 1700 down to replace what I took out, then bed this pipe.
