Sailfish Stb. Through Hulls

[Marcus]

Hi,
‘84 Sailfish 255 here.
I’m looking to identify some of my through hull fittings. Please see the attached pics.
The first is the Stb bow hull. One of the ports is from my galley sink. Does anyone know what the other port is? Anchor locker drain?
Secondly, the photo with the two fuel vents, directly below them. What is the steel through hull, below the water line?

Thanks in advance.

The one on the bow may be anchor locker. My 268 Islander doesn't have one. Pour some water in it and see.

The three on the Port side are gally sink, forward bilge pump and shower sump pump. Again, pour some water in it and see.

Both photos are stbd side, one in front of the sling, and one behind. Through hull below waterline is probably macerator/overboard discharge. One of those vents above may be the holding tank, unless you have two fuel tanks, and have seen overflow from both.

That water line is very high up the gunwale....why?

Thanks!

The day before I hauled her there was a storm and she sank a bit. (See attached photo looking into the cabin with a foot of water inside.) At the same time there was an oil slick from a commercial boat near me. The high water mark is petroleum scum.

oh sheite that sucks. hopefully you've got everything well rinsed. try to spray every electrical connector with something to stop corrosion

have you found the cause of the flooding? bad hose? cracked thru hull?

Oh dang my dude. that's not good. I hope it works out for you in the long run.

Do you think she took on water because of the thru hulls?

Well, there were a couple of factors involved in my partial sinking (lowering); a massive rainfall, cheap ass wiring on the forward bilge pump….but mainly it was personal negligence.
She didn’t take on enough water to submerge and major wiring or batts. Mainly just damaged my pride.
Ive since improved the bilge pumps and other important wiring.
