T&T: potty patrol, Daytona Beach

[Chester Brummett]

Jeff

I went to Ace HW, and got their "generic" long-hasp pad lock.  I think I
checked the diameter of the holes through the locking eyes in the Y valve
before purchase to validate that the pad lock would fit..

The rules state that  a tie wrap is OK.  I had heard of some potty
inspectors not accepting the tie wrap, so I changed to the padlocks.  From
others, I understand that this particular group was accepting the tie wrap.

I do not have tie-wrap or lock on all through hull--no place to attach them.
I guess that I should add to my "to-do list", epoxy a bracket to the hull
where I can lock or tie-wrap all thru-hulls associated with the heads.
