Is it possible to add a sea chest ?

Thanks Robert will give them a try if the Calgon tablets I just started using this spring don't cut it.Do you see any corrosion issues from the bromine?

Not in five years.

Hatteras routed the condensate drains to sea chests. NOT to the bilges.

True enough in later years, but the early Hatts, e.g. 1972, were drained to the bilges. I am in the process of routing the drains to the Sea Chests, as you mention. In this case the Sea Chests under the fore and aft showers.

Are those sea chests or shower sumps?

Yours has a sea chest? Thought that was an 80’s thing. Mine all go in the bilge

You're just jealous of my dry and clean (oil free) bilges. Detroit guys all say it is impossible......

Keep’em dry if you can. If not, keep’em wet.
