Hi Carlos,
How do you plan to gain access to that area to install the hose and fittings?
Bones
Cockpit Drains - On my 1979 I am considering installing a 1 1/2" through hull
(vertically) at rear of cockpit floor just above the original drain (bottom of
through
hull would touch cockpit floor). I chose this area to install because the
cockpit floor
dips to center rear of cockpit right at this area. I will then install another
1
1/2" through hull at transom (above waterline) but below cockpit floor so water
will
drain. A hose connects these 2 through hulls and a one way Whaler check valve
is
installed inline between through hulls (to prevent seawater from entering
cockpit). This
method is similar to new M17's except they have 2 drains/through hulls, one at
each end
of rear cockpit area; also mounted horizontally, also utilizing one way check
valves.
I believe this upgrade idea will greatly increase the volume and rate of which
water is
removed from cockpit. It also removes a through hull that is below water line
(original
drain).
