mac 22 water inlets?
in the cockpit area I have two water inlet valves, one on either side, they go in behind the companionway area but do not hook to anything. am I supposed to have water storage tanks on either side? Am I missing something?

Re: where to start looking for a leak?
thanks, the corn starch thing seems like a good place to start, and honestly, if i get a rainy weekend in the near future I might just go chill out in the boat!!!

where to start looking for a leak?
I have a 1984 mac 22, and since the rainy season has started I keep finding water in it. after a large storm i will pull about 1 to 2 buckets out of it. It looks like it is accumulating in a sort of valley that runs across the boatright behind the door to the cabin, this "valley"has a hole...

Re: Bad mac?
that is what i was needing. One last dumb question, when docked do you leave the water ballasts full or do you dump them and refill every time you go out?

Re: 71' Venture 222 Interior
thanks, I think that might be just the ticket! I am just waiting for late March for it to be a bit dryer out there and before it gets too hot to be in the boat itself!!

Re: Bad mac?
I just went back through my old emails, and the boat the guy bought was a 26D. I realize that the D does not have a swing Keel, which is faster a 26D or a 26S?

Re: 71' Venture 222 Interior
that looks good, how long did the paint smell take to go away, I seem to remember oil based paints taking a long time to set up, however they did hold up well. I need to redo some of my interior and my wife will kill me if I use something that takes forever for the smell to go away, so i would reall...

Re: Bad mac?

Bad mac?
which is the model that had the bad reputation that was setup for a large motor and everyone says it does not sail well nor does it motor well? Also what are the differences between a 26S and a 26M?

Re: Venture 2-22 Owners out there
I own a 84? V-22, I bought it last year in October, and have had it out maybe 8 times since. so far I like it, only problem I currently have is rain gets in somewhere and it is driving me nuts trying to figure out where. I guess I will end up having to go sit in the boat during a storm.....
