Bill,

"Ellen's Hope", Commander #269 was given back to me from whom I sold it to. I have passed it on to my father, having no interest in taking this back on with the associated monthly slip fee.  I sold it to my father for $1.00, yes one dollar, including bill of sale and title. It it now registered in his name: Fletcher L. Smith, and he has kept the boat in Camden, NC where it is to this day.  Sadly, it has not left the slip in over a year.  My dad also has a Southern Cross 31 berthed in the same marina, as is a truck driver.  So, as you can imagine both vessels sit patiently, waiting to be sailed.  

He may be interested in selling them both, so if any parties are interested, they can contact me and I'll pass on the interest.

Respectfully,
Chance Smith

Adam,
    From the photo showing the aluminum (marinium) cleats, I only have two (2) 6" marinium alloy deck cleats left and the forward hatch closure latch assembly (2 pieces).  I still have bronze hardware, including the 4 piece danforth anchor chock set.  I'll sell the anchor chock set for $35 plus $5.35 for shipping.
 
Thanks for asking.

Also,
    For this application, my recommendation is to only use "BRONZE", which can be done.

Kyle,
 
Good Evening. Okay, here's an option that will result in a clean, neat installation, that will provide a watertight bulkhead penetration. It involves only three bronze fittings, some pipe sealant and a couple of nice fillets.
 
Obtain (1) one bronze pipe coupler
Obtain (2) two bronze pipe-to-hose fittings.
 
Install the coupler in the bulkhead by milling a hole to receive the coupler. Center the coupler and epoxy in place using nice fillets. Then insert a pipe to hose fitting into each end and there you have it. The nice thing about this option is pipe-to-hose fittings have NPT threads, just like the coupler. Also, pipe-to-hose fittings can be either straight, 90 degree or 45 degree. This may assist in where (the direction) you'll be routing the hose.
 
Bronze couplers are readily available from Hamilton Marine and Jamestown Distributors. Groco Marine produces an assortment of bronze pipe-to-hose fittings that are distributed by various suppliers.
 
Hope this helps.

Pivot pin: 1/8" Diameter
Strap thickness: 1/16"
 
holes start at 1" in from each end and are on 2" centers.
