Va Beach v20 project

[awthacker]

I increased the diameter of the two drains on my splashwell and added the one-way scuppers. After one trip, I decided to remove the rubber flaps because they seemed to impede the draining process. When I'm anchored, water runs in and out of my splashwell, but it doesn't seem to cause any problems. With a 20" transom, the water is gonna get in there regardless, and I'd rather have it drain quickly than trickle through the flapper valve. This was the best pic I could find of it.

I cant seem to quit make out that picture. I see the transom ladder and what looks to be like a plastic bottle of some sort?

Kracker:

I recommend you dry your rigging thru that chase before you mount the deck. It looks relatively small in the pics with several 90 degree corners that may makes rigging a real pain. Especially if your going to use mechanical steering!

Keep up the good work.

You are on point! I tried it today and its a no go. I'm going to run the teleflex and controls another route and just keep that Chase pipe for power and neg wires ,fuel and other wiring. I'm just not comfortable cutting my stringer out any more.

I noticed that pipe...was thinking instead of a single 90* elbow under the console, two 45s would make a much easier pull of it...I would think the steering cable would go thru that...
