JHC, Wrong! Our golden doodle went blind 6 months ago at 7 years old and she can still “see” that cheese, meat, bread through and around walls.... she likes fresh water in her bowl and will sniff disapprovingly if it’s more than 10 hours old.

Ran into an interesting problem this weekend with the 182. Last night we had a squall line pass through Lake Havasu City at around 10:30 pm and it rained sideways and we had 50 knot winds for a couple of hours. I'm glad I had the control lock installed! When I went to leave this morning the airplane had been hopping around in the wind and slipped the chocks somewhat and the tie down chains were tight enough I couldn't get them off without moving the airplane a little. When I finally moved it I noticed a small amount of water drip out of the tail cone area onto the ground and didn't think much of it. We flew home and when I was putting the airplane back in the hangar I noticed more water spots on the concrete from the tail cone. I walked over to my I/A's hangar and asked him to look at it with me. He said there should be a drain hole near the tie down ring and there were some drain holes but they are not directly on the bottom and were probably an inch or two up on each side. He said to use a #40 drill and make a drain hole just in front of the aft bulkhead which I did. As soon as the drill broke through I drained out about two beer cans of water that had accumulated in the tail from the rain last night. I suspect it all leaked in from around the tail fairing. All of the other drain holes on the bottom of the fuselage were clear so I'm curious why Cessna didn't put a drain hole near the tie down ring by the aft bulkhead. Dave

Dave.
There should be two drain holes aft of the next bulkhead forward. I think in a normal attitude, water should flow forward but I’m going from memory, sitting at my kitchen table.

I took a look at a friend's C-182RG yesterday and his was how you said. Sitting on the ground, the slope of the fuselage bottom was probably 10 degrees toward the front. In this photo, the access panel is toward the front and the drain holes are toward the aft. (Ignore the file name. Coffee hasn't kicked in yet.) Attachment: C-172 drain holes.JPG

Looks like mine does not have drain holes there.

Dave Thank you, I now have clean firewall envy. Seriously, got a cite for the SB? I am certain my 182M does not have those diodes in place. RAS

RAS Richard, Here's one that covers the ignition switch on later models and the installation of a diode on the starter relay. https://support.cessna.com/custsupt/con ... s_id=22135Not exactly covering the master relay diode but it's a good idea to install one there as well as you can see by the video. Without the diode you not only run the risk of premature contact failure in the master switch but also run the risk of damaging avionics with high voltage spikes if you inadvertently leave the avionics switch on and shut down the power with the master switch. Here's another good video that explains why you should run a diode on relays. [youtube]https://youtu.be/bvDuyM2e4gw[/youtube] Dave
