B) Prop holders

C) Two questions: Where does the hose go? And on the port side of the bow about the same area is there an outlet (drain opening)

Thank you for your reply!

About the hose ( Question "c")

1)The hose goes down into floor, we didn't have any chance to open it up. But we've checked all the system of hoses, and we didn't find the place this hose goes to.

2) As I remember there is no outlet (drain opening)

One or two possible answers. 1) There are two (actually three if you don't have A/C) storage compartments under the V-berth, it may be a drain for those compartments to the bilge (some of them liked to fill with water). 2) It may have been left there for an A/C install that was not done.

Put an air hose into the end of it, and see if you can find where air might be getting expelled. Sonic used to lay up drain lines in the hull with the stringers that went from the bow to the bilge, and this could be one of them. If it is, there will be little opening or perhaps 1-2 inches of the same hose at the bottom of the forward bulkhead in the engine compartment. You will more than likely see your air coming out from this area.

Thank you Sydwayz, I will try it with air compressor. :)

Hey guys,

Soon it's time to put the boat in water.

This weekend we have in plan to paint the bottom of the boat.

I have a question regarding the "water line".

There is no specification on water line measurements.

The only thing is that I see the dirty line on the body, which logically should be the water line.

Could you help me with that? :)

45sonic 04-11-2008 08:31 AM

Best way if you really have to paint the bottom is put the boat in the water and either wait for a scum line to appear or mark the water line with a grease pencil.
