Marguerite, a Fantail 50 single engine, blue hulled trawler, will be heading
northbound via the ICW to Annapolis for the summer leaving her home port of
North Palm Beach, FL this coming Thursday. Hope to see some Trawler World
friends along the way. We hope to publish our normal trip reports as we move
north.

Cheers,

We are in the process of installing A/C aboard Classy Lady and have lost the
source of a neat little gadget--a condensate drain. It consisted of a short
piece of tube (1/2" diameter or so) with a small tube inserted a right angle
into the main tube. The idea is that with exhaust water flowing thru the
main (larger) tube, and the smaller tube inserted at a right angle with the
end in the waterflow at 45 degrees, a venturi was formed and it pulled
condensate water downstream and out of the boat It seems like a great little
item but although I once saw it on a website can't find it or a reference of
any sort. Does anyone else remember seeing such a device? I guess if all
else fails, I'll do without but sure would like to incorporate a better way
than either using a line to the shower drain or just letting the condensate
go to the bilge.
Thanks for any help, best regards to all.

Many years ago I worked in a chemical laboratory and we used a
similar gadget connected to the watertap as a small vacuum pump. I
wouldn't be too surprised if you couldn't find something like it in a
lab-supply store or check with your nearest university -chemistry
department.
