Do you have vent holes in your notch?
I always meant to ask, if anyone else has 1.25 dia vent holes in the notch that vent overboard. I was thinking about using one for an a/c water pickup. Are they there for another reason?

I was thinking that they were there for a gen and ac. They are straight 1.25 diameter thru-hull fittings that dump above the water line. One on each side.

Re: Do you have vent holes in your notch?
fountain indeeds vents the notch on many of there boats, on my 42 there are two 1 1/2 inch vents in the notch not quite sure what for have asked the question a few times and told to pull hot air out of the engine compartment and to venting the notch so as not to create a vacuum forward of the props. my two vents pull from the engine compartment and not the outside of the boat,
