Cockpit Drain

Post by Willburrrr2003 »

Good Morning Folks, and happy Friday!

My question today is where does the water go that goes down the cockpit drain ? Is there a thru hull fitting I am missing somewhere?

Regards,

Will R.

I assume you are asking about a 22.

On the X the cockpit slopes towards the rear. There is a small hole in the rear well that empties in the stern. 8)

I finally got the boat level and the water to go forward to the cockpit drain, turns out on the '79 V22 the drain exits through at the rear of the keelfin trunk, up inside above the fin.
