Which reminds me, if the companion way is open, how does that water get out? There's no bilge to speak of.. the only way put would be through these two through hulls on my boat. On Aug 10, 2016 8:25 PM, "Jazzy" <jazzydaze@gmail.com> wrote:
That reminds me, if the cockpit fills with water do we still float while it drains? Assuming companion way is closed of course.. On Aug 10, 2016 7:25 PM, "Stanley Wheatley" <swwheatley@comcast.net> wrote:
Yeah, all of that is something a prior owner installed after the fact, which does not make it bad. Like the bronze, the plastic thru-hulls are better than the o.e. aluminum tubes, and the second drain would be very welcome if you ever took a big wave over the transom. I don't know about flappers or check valves. The o.e setup doesn't need them because the long and circuitous hose squelches any back-flow as long as the cockpit sole is above water level.

Oh, two of these on the back of the transom ..one for the brass thing and one for this one. On Aug 10, 2016 3:27 PM, wrote:

Hi, anchored in Quartermaster Harbor. Vashon Island, WA. Gorgeous day and a good place to study some work junk. Here's a pick inside... the brass deal is a 90 degree elbow, then a hose, double clamped and out what looks like the stock through hull... I like the setup. Was just wondering if you guys had a fancy flapper valve or something. .. On Aug 10, 2016 1:59 PM, <swwheatley@comcast.net> wrote:
No.
As Gilasailr said, that appears to be a garboard drain plug someone has repurposed to replace the o.e. aluminum tube. Again, done well, that is a good upgrade because bronze lasts forever in a marine environment and aluminum does not.
I would be interested to see photos of what was used where the drain exits the hull, and what was used to connect it all up.
