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.




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.

Those two litle holes on the starboard side of the engine are the
inlet and outlet I believe.

I was on two Sea Pro boats this summer and those were both below the
water line - I know because I helped launch and recover them.

Doesn't mean there ain't no boats with outlets above the waterline,
but I've never seen one.

Gotta pic of your whole stern?

Get it - whole? Hole?

Nope. Those two holes are two of the four outlets for the cockpit drain.
There are two more just like it on the other side of the engine. On my
boat, the holes have a horizontal flap cover.

The round stainless through-hull under the port flap is the drain for
the livewell.

Um...isn't that below the waterline?

If that flapperdoodle thingy is the cockpit drain, and based on the
picture of the stern of your model Parker, that drain is below the
water line.

You draft 15" and that looks more like 12".

Nope. It's above the water line. And it is 15". I'll try to remember to
snap a photo of the stern with the boat in the water.

HK just runs the water on to the deck and it flows out the back. He don't
mind wet feet.

At the moment this is the only photo I can find of the "whole" stern.
