I have read a great deal about a third pintle on the CO26 rudder. Has anyone performed this mod? Where can I buy the right sized pintle and associated gudgeon. (Must be the same as the one fited)
Thanks in advance.

Re: Deck and Cockpit drainage (6 replies, posted in Repairs/Modifications/Upgrades)
My CO26 has a rather strange ansd I think potentially dangerous deck and cockpit drainage plumbing arrangement. The electric Bilge pump is joined to the cockpit and deck drainage plumbing. Custom from the previous owner.
My question is how should the Deck, Cockpit and Bilge (Electric)exit the boat? Manual bilge pump is correctly instaled.
I have 2 trough hulls below the engine compartment and potenttially 5 drains. 2 side deck, 2 cockpit and one form the bilge pump.
Currently each deck side and cockpit side is teed together and exits through it's own through hull.
Does the exit point for the bilge need to be above the water line?
The current through huls do not have seacocks, should they be fitted?
YOur help is appreciated.
