SWEAT DEAL NO RESERVE

[willy]

Never saw floor hatches like that, I believe this boast has had several mods done, and it is self bailing in that it bails into the bildge and the pump has to get it out. Hopefully a big hard working pump. ;D

That's how my 84 is.

Ferm couldn't you convert that to a thru hull scupper design? Doesn't look much different than my 85 and mine go thru hull and out.

You mean those lead to the bilge? Never would'a thought it. :-/

[macojoe]

My 75 is no self bail at all!! Everything to the bilge, via the motor well, or floor boxes.

The way mine is set up, those through hulls are connect with tubes
to the well shown by the red arrow.
I have to put corks in the well, so water does not come into the boat.
There are drain holes from that well to the outside of the hull, just on either side of the motor.




You can see the through hull just to the right of the motor
on the anti foul line. There is one just like it on the left side.

Mine go out the side of the hull just about two inches above the water line

MY I/O 1978 IS EXACTLY LIKE THAT, THOSE TEAK HATCHES I REPLACED THEM WITH STARBOARD AND THE TEAK ONE I USED THEM FOR TWO LITTLE TABLE AT MY TERRACE. THAT BOAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS AN I/O AT SOME POINT AND WAS CONVERTED TO OUTBOARD.

ALSO MY TRAILER HAS THOSE SMALL TIRES FROM FACTORY.

My I/O has those hatches as well. No way this was ever an I/O though.
