Modifications > Cockpit Drains

 
I added the two additional drains at the aft end of the cockpit. Their sole purpose is to drain off large amounts of water quickly. The smaller scuppers at the forward end of the cockpit can handle the rest plus the normal amount from rain, spray, etc. The new scuppers are simply barbed nylon thru-hull fittings. The tiller head is a standard Schaefer model with two pivot rests welded to it for the teller.
The hoses cross under the cockpit and route to Marelon© sea cocks and thru-hulls. I replaced all the original bronze sea cocks and thru-hulls in the boat with Marelon in 1995 and I am extremely happy with them.
