 Topic: Drain hose anchor locker too longPosted: 19 January 2008 at 13:09 |

During a visit to our H350 at the dealer this week I’d notice that the drain hose of the anchor storage to the hull fitting is too long (see picture). This will definitely cause obstruction after a while due to sand or clay which will stay at the lowest point of the hose. I’ll shorten it after handover of the boat. It can be just lucky me, but please check it on your H350. It is easily accessible by the inspection hatch in the front cabin. Regards, Rob

I am trying to figure out why the anchor locker is drained through a hose and not through a hole in the hull at floor level. I can't find a good explanation to that.
The outlet is indeed located correctly and not drilled through the sandwich, but why isn't it drilled in the locker itself? Johan |

Not sure how low the exit hole is in the bow. If it is very low it could be that the loop in the hose is intentional to prevent water from entering the drain hole and rising in the anchor locker when in rough seas. Before shortening it I would check with Hanse.

Johan, I think it's a money saving exercise by Hanse, but I have no problems with that as it is very simple and with this sollution there are no risks with the sandwich etc. As the hull is built in two halfs and the anchor locker is part of the decktop , this construction makes building and assembling a little easier, hence cheaper.
Still figuring out why they used a 90' elbow on the bottom of the locker. As it is glued with Sika PU I'll leave it that way for the time beeing and will only shorten the hose
Regards, Rob

Since it is part of the decktop, this solutions should eliminate the problem that I read about on the 342 where water was coming in to the forcabin in some cases... Lets hope Hanse has done this also because it is a better solution, not just because it might be cheaper

I don't understand when you say it's part of the decktop. How can it be any different from the 342?

Hi Johan!
As I recall on the 342 or was it maybe on the 341? the ancherlocker is part of the hull, separeted from the forecabin with a bulkhead? (my english is not the best, but I hope you understand). This bulkhead was as I recall not laminated good enhough all around to prevent water from the ancherlocker, e.g if the the draining had been blocked, to come in to the forecabin... It was a story somewhere on the internett about this, I dont know if it was at myhanse.com.
Here you see a picture of the 350, as you can see it is part of the deck and therefore the same problem can not happen here, but I am sure there will be others
 . One problem with this solution is that it gets to small!!!Edited by bjoris - 20 January 2008 at 21:30 |

Well, a picture says more than a thousand words, doesn't it? Now it makes perfect sense to me why there is a hose. Good for you guys, you won't get any water in your forepeaks!
I have also read something on the internet about a poor guy who got water into his boat coming from the anchor locker when sailing in rough weather. If I recall it correctly his name was Johan Hackman... (here's the link to that thread) On a 342, you've got two waredrobes in the forepeak. If you get water behind the one to starboard there is no way to reach to it apart from the screw holes at the bottom of the wardrobe. I am not kidding you, when I was drying up my forepeak I had to suck water through a straw and spit it out in a bucket. The attached picture shows what I mean. On the port side I could use a sponge, which I found more agreable. Johan

It was your boat. Hmm. The poor guy is definitly you... yes... But even so you have a nice boat. Soon I will to have a nice boat! Lets hope there is not as much to deal with as it is in your boat... It will be interesseting to see if Hanse learns from bad solutions on earlier models, it might seem so in this case, but then again there are a lot of new solutions ofcours... Well, I dont expect it to be a 100% ... My dealer says there will surly be something but not much... Lets hope he is right... Edited by bjoris - 20 January 2008 at 22:46 |
