[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Seat Drains Replacement

[Brian Ferguson]

Graham,
Thanks for the pictures and explanation. It actually makes so much sense. I
was actually trying to see if I could make it happen with a thru-hull, but
the scupper you showed with the different profile is definitely what I'm
looking for. I was overthinking it and thought of attaching it somehow
underneath.
To Jesse and Roger, yes, this started as a smaller project and then built
up momentum. I'd like to be done in under six years though. For what it's
worth I discovered that some of my ballast is made up of lead wheel
weights. Found those when I was "screwdriver-checking" the stringers in the
bilge.
