Newer through hull depth transducers are usually 1 5/8" or 2" and are in front of the engines. There was an old transducer that was shaped like a wedge and stuck out a couple of inches. Maybe thats it. I assume there are no valves inside the hull just plugs. They might have been inlets for a seawater deck wash down, A/C, Genset or toilet. If you can't use them just make sure they are plugged good. Ask about the good old two aluminum disks and a ss bolt trick. Wow somebody's boat needs a bottom job.

Yes it does need a bottom job (see "I hate barnacles" thread). What you see in the pics is actually the barrier coat with the red antifoul over it. Oddly enough it looks like corroded aluminum in pictures.

I was unable to locate the holes inside the boat. How do I look under the head??? I think it has been upgraded as it has a full fiberglass floor, and no holding tank "in" the head (still haven't located it). I was thinking the one in the head be an intake for the head, but am totally puzzled by the smaller one...

Drain for what? It has a tube going up into the inside...

Shane, i see the motor raw water inlet in the background.about where these holes are is where my head plumbing is the one close to the center of the boat is water inlet for flushing the toilet and the one closer the the side of the boat in the outlet from the mersurader pump.my head has the fiberglass floor too.look beside the toilet and there should be two pipes coming up through the floor one on each side.we are planning to go put in the water heater this weekend will try take some pics.i have not seen the bottom of my boat much so i don't know the size of the holes but the pipes are about 3/4 or 1 inch.

shane,

the pipes reach above water level and have no valves .the only time i have taken on water through them is when we put in the engine .i had the inlet line off from winterizing and the new engine and all parts on the side with the engine still in and the old engine out of the other side .so nothing on one side . two engines and 5 people on the head side heard water running in the belge from the shower drain.yes it was scary but sliding the hose to the toilet back on stopped it.take up the axcess panel in the floor outside the head i think there is a hole in the beam under the door you can see through,and you will see the pipes and hose for shower drain from the fiberglass floor through to the engine room.


my waste tank is in the hanging locker in front of the head .i'm not sure if it is the original location.it's only about 15 gals .it's not big enough for us.two couples have a fews cold one will fill if up in 3 days even with the men going over the side at night.if i get the right tank i think i can fit a 30 gal in there with the stereo and amps but it has to be a thick tank that can be mounted long side vertical.

Shane, My 32 express has that hole/ pipe capped off in the head. It was for raw discharge before the law changed, since updated with holding tank that is in front of the rudders. The other hole is for water intake for tolet. my 2 cents. Wayne

Tim, Don't have photos, but will take some . I think about 20 gal. Wayne
