If you look at the transom just above the sharpest point of the vee
bottom, you'll see what looks like a pair of round chrome or stainless
drains.

They're surely below the waterline, so I'm wondering what they drain.
Not the hull under the deck, because if you look closely, you'll see the
usual bronze drain plug at the vee.

Probably drains the engine well when running on plane unless it is
possibly a live well drain.

Maybe for a recirculating live well.

I dunno. Most recirculating livewells I have seen on small boats (like
all the small boats I have owned) have a bronze inlet in the bottom of
the hull and an overflow that pumps out above the waterline, again, so
you know the overflow is working.

It's just an oddity. I'm sure there is some explanation that makes sense.

Not that I doubt your experience, but I have never seen an outflow for
a live well on a small boat.

Almost all live well circulation inlet/outlets are below the water
line.

I don't know what you mean by small but my Lund 1900 Pro-V had an overflow
for the live wells above the water line.

Really? My SeaPros had outflow drains above the waterline, and my Parker
does, too.

That's what the stainless steel fitting is for on the transom...it's the
outflow hole for the live well.

No, it isn't an engine well drain. You can one of those higher on the
transom. Probably one on the other side, too. I thought they might drain
a livewell, too, but they are *below* the waterline. I don't know if
this particular boat even has a livewell. Most of the boats I've seen
with in-deck livewells have pumps to empty them, and the outlet is above
the waterline so you can be sure the pump is working.

Oh well.

Hmmm. Through hulls are usually white nylon above the waterline and
bronze below. Chrome Zamak? Don't think so. Not on my boat, anyway.

Oops- no coffee yet. I suppose they are SS.
