Author Topic:   Revenge 22 Berth Filler and Table; Deck Caulking

beemerfan posted 02-19-2011 09:16 PM ET (US)
I recall reading that the wood cover over the porta potty in the cabin of a Revenge also doubled as a table. "The cuddy cabin on a Revenge provides two nice seven-foot-long berths. This boat has the optional filler panel and cushion. In true Whaler fashion, it is constructed in such a way that it can be inverted to form a small table." (http://continuouswave.com/whaler/cetacea/cetaceaPage46.html) I can't figure out how that works. Is that only on the newer walk thru Revenges? Can I make mods to my 1984 Revenge to have the filler panel also double as a table?
As long as I'm at it, anybody have any other suggestions for a new Revenge owner? I've just replaced the original fuel filler hose, and was amazed after looking at it that it hadn't started leaking yet.
Why do people caulk the deck covers together? Doesn't the water drain properly without caulk/silicone? (thanks to this forum, I'm aware of the one cavity that doesn't drain for fuel containment purposes, but shouldn't all the others drain to the rear sump?).

In a REVENGE cabin the V-berth filler panel becomes a table as follows:
--the fore-and-aft orientation of the filler panel is swapped end for end;
--the leg of the filler panel hooks over a clear on the forward bulwark of the cabin cockpit, holding the filler panel in an elevated position between the V-berths.

The caulking on the deck panels is merely cosmetic. With or without caulking, water will get into the cavities below. Without caulking, the gaps will fill up with debris and dirt, but I think the cockpit deck actually drains better without the caulking in place.

I agree with newt... After reworking everything below the deck hatches, I did not re-caulk the seams. Water finds it's way below no matter how much or how good you think the caulk looks. I hit the seams with the hose once in a while and the dirt comes right out. A small amount of water finds it's way into the fuel tank well, but the pump I installed gets most of that water out.

To solicit advice on making repairs or modifications to your classic Boston Whaler boat, please resume the discussion in REPAIRS/MODS. The REPAIRS/MODS discussion concentrates on the topic of repairs or modifications to classic Boston Whaler boats and is the preferred discussion area for that topic.
