Default Re: Boat jewelry

Speaking of hose clamps, I've started using some nice solid all-stainless ones I found at Boat Owners Warehouse with raised/embossed threads, which don't cut into the hose like those with the cut out threads! Don't remember the brand but they come in metric sizes, so they may be imported.

Terry, I was also thinking about your scupper drains, and I wondered if they'd do a little better job of draining water off the deck if they were recessed in a well below deck level like those in the 20 ft. hulls? I believe that later (than mine) 20's which had the deck raised a couple inches also had a drain channel around the edge of the deck a little below deck level, with scupper wells that were 2-3" deep instead of 1" deep ones like mine.
