I remember changing out those deck drains, what a PIA. No way to get where u gotta get to get it right. At least those rod box cut outs look far enough toward the stern to get at them.

Hard to tell from photo. Does the fuel cell cavity have a removable deck section on the V21

Where did you get the 90* deck drains?

Phat the rod boxes openings extend rearward enough to easily do what you need to do. I believe the port side deck drain or floor is lower than the thru hull. However, the height of the opening on deck is enough to allow it to drain with a bit of water always in the assy.

The fuel tank can be removed by cutting the soft patch. Wellcraft was smart utilizing a plastic tank in lieu of aluminum. No drastic temp changes with plastic VS aluminum which means no condensation or very, very little.

The 90-degree deck drains are factory originals. The plastic fitting above deck is thin and they crack over time. I sourced a pair from West Marine and just used the above deck pieces. The threaded male portion could have been just a little longer since the elbow below deck has only a few threads started in it. I used 3M 4200 on all threads to help seal everything and give it a little more rigidity. 4200 was used on all 5 thru hulls as well.

Replaced all 4 Bimini top "plastic" hardware with Seadog 316 S/S fittings. These are nice guy's!

Replaced original Perko cutty door hook & latch with exact same Perko hook. It was time!

Polished windshield glass & frames. Anodizing on frames is in amazing condition.!

Shifted my attention to the original factory 27 year old wiring today. Found several highly corroded wires that turned to dust when touched. Bilge pump wiring was one. Pulled them all out and installed new correct color (brown) lead from multi connector stbd side aft. Removed excess/older wiring. Neatened everything up with neoprene lined SS clamps and wire ties.

I was kind of embarrassed by her outwardly appearance, so I took some time to address that.
