New skin fittings for 5 bilge pumps on a 50 year old Rival 38 #BoatRefit #DIY #BilgePump

Replacing a 3" diesel exhaust hole and a 2" bilge pump hole with 2 38mm skin fittings. Part of the project to fit 5 bilge pumps. See our blog post "Planning to avoid sinking" https://www.sustainablesailing.net/planning-to-avoid-sinking/ We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters.

When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
