Head Floor Drain

[Barry Cohen]

Is any other R-27 owner having an issue with the head floor drain? It appears it was installed in the high spot, instead of the low spot. I have to lean on the starboard side to get it to drain properly.

Am off base?

I have the same issue. Our R27 has a port list- we have the genset option which is heavy. I squeegee the water toward the drain after using the shower. A small rag soaks up the rest.

Ditto.

All my tools go in the compartment on the starboard...helps a bit.

 

[PhilR]

Me too.

ANOTHER SOLUTION IS TO GO OUT AND STAND ON THE STARBOARD SIDE OF YOUR TUG [AFTER OF COURSE PUTTING ON AT LEAST A PAIR OF SKIVVIES ] GRAB THE UPPER HAND RAIL AND ROCK THE BOAT LIKE CRAZY :lol: IF IN THE MARINA YOU CAN MAKE UP ALL SORTS OF REASONS AS TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING :roll: AND IT WILL GET THE WATER OFF THE HEAD'S FLOOR.. HOPE THIS HELPS----- STEVEANDTINA

Thanks Steve and Tina:

Currently, we do exactly that. My wife is standing over my shoulder reading your response and laughing her skivvy-covered a-- off!! 🙂

Barry,
As Howard said “the gen set is heavy”. Sallison has a slight smile to starboard with no gen set and a solar panel and no floor drain problems. Mike Rizzo installed a nifty fresh water cockpit shower that lets him shower on the swim platform but his, saint of a wife, insists he cover up while doing so.

I actually installed a cockpit shower as well. Mounted it on the face of the stern propane locker. The wife loves it!

I have a genset, and now I have a 55 lb. 6-HP outboard for the inflatable that I keep on a bracket on the port side away from the transom door. Adds even a bit more list.

No problems, though. We don't mind rocking her to starboard and finishing up with a squeegee.

Just wanted to see what others are experiencing.

The boat rule for us is: whoever showers last has to squeegee and wipe down the shower. Yeah, I almost never get to shower first. 😉

 

[Barry Cohen]

I know how that feels!

Our Cutwater has the same issue. Interesting!
