[PSUBS-MAILIST] VBT for K-350

[Daniel Lance Lance]

Bob,
That's a very good observation on your part. Your vbt won't live long with
an inch of residual salt or freshwater left in it . A drain plug is a
necessary revision to the Kittredge design. I would recommend welding in a
stainless steel bushing and screwing in a pipe plug.
