waterline

The attached picture was taken after a couple rounds of paint stripping on the dark paint stripe at the waterline. The sharp orange line is parallel to the current waterline - I wonder if that is a design waterline or an old freshwater waterline mark? The orange is kind of soft when removing...

After replacing my thru hulls and seacocks earlier this fall, I still need to complete some of the in-cabin plumbing on my e27 (yet to be sailed by me) this spring. There's no reason I can't use good quality hose to attach to a bronze seacock is there? Specifically, I'm thinking about...

I have to install a new head in my daughter's boat. To get the venting loops high enough (but not unnecessarily high), I need to find the waterline accurately. I assume this is going to involve some 30' of clear tubing with one end dunked over the transom after getting the whole tube full of...

I'm getting ready to haul out my E35-3 to do the bottom again - and have always kept that space of gelcoat beneath the boot stripe clear (not painted) as that was the original design. Several people have suggested I paint up to the bootstripe to raise the bottom paint above the "scum line"...
