Default Re: So many tubes...

Willy and Hammer, I noticed the patch work too when I was reviewing the pics. There are NO THRU-Hull fittings like there are on your boat Hammer. I suspect you are right and these were rerouted but why in the heck would a guy want to do that? One of big advantages of these later models is the self-bailing feature (IMHO).

On the other hand, I own a drill and I am not afraid to use it.

Hammer, I am assuming that your side scuppers are original, yes? Would you please measure to the center of that scupper from both the stern and the bottom of the deadrise. That'll let me precisely replace the fitting.

One last question, what is up with the tubes in my V that travel into the hull from either side of the motor well but connect to nothing? I wonder if these were once connected to the deck drains (the height doesn't look quite right though). Perhaps they didn't work well without a one way valve... perhaps I've had too much wine to think these things through clearly...

You guys rock.

TH
