I spent part of the weekend crawling around in the E23 lazarettes.
I was really surprised to find out that the cockpit drain went to a throughhull 4 or 5 feet from the stern. I'd assumed that it was a straight shot down from the drain, through the bottom. One more throughhull to worry about.
The other surprise was to find that the Lectrasan water intake was plumbed to that same throughhull under the cockpit. It is T'd off the hose from the cockpit. I suspect that the throughhull at the head that was the original intake siezed up. Definitely have to re-do that rube goldberg set-up since the 10 to 15 foot run of hose makes me very nervous.
I now know of 4 holes in the hull; 1 for a speed/distance log impeller, up under the v-berth, 2 at the head (one is sealed shut ?), and 1 under the cockpit.
Time to get some wood plugs strategically placed .
I hope I won't find any more surprises
