water torture

[markhomer]

Unfortunately tied next to boat with water continuosly running from a skin fitting above waterline , steady flow from 20 mm fitting , weed growing around suggested sea water , was doing everyone nuts in all around , on par with wind genny or heating left on all night , was a oyster 72 , couldnt hear a generator , sea water cooled fridge ?

Unfortunately we had to resort to a good ole scottish remedy to make noise acceptable. A good ole swally and singsong sorry t all for our noise was all we could do

may have been air conditioning or refrigerator cooing water. unoccupied boats in our marina leave the aircons on to keep the boat damp free below some even have a dehumidifier setting on the thermostat for just that task, but the cooling water has to run regardless. we don't leave our air conditioners running 24/7 because it encourages the pipework to calcify and need flushing with descaler too often but others seem not to care. Our refrigerator is air cooled so no running water noises.

Stick a pipe in it (rubber hose) ;-)

find a scruffy oily rag and dangle over pipe from toe rail into water it will muffle the sound

sea water cooled fridge ?

Very likely. I've been in a charter boat with one like that and it annoyed us on board as well

All the oysters here do it, it's flipping annoying with half a dozen running on a quiet evening, would be so easy to fit it with an on the waterline outflow which I suspect means there's something of the 'look at what I've got' about it.

Difficult bit would be getting the owner to bend over long enough to hammer it home
