Hull inlets etc..

[stownsend]

Hi

What hull inlets / seacocks do you reckon are needed on a small 22 foot cabin cruiser. I've got a volvo penta 250 set (AQ151 and 290 Leg) so the engine is cooled via the leg so one's not needed there. I would assume one for the heads water inlet but apart from that I'm lost.

If this is the case I've got quite a few existing ones to remove and glass over the existing holes !

One for the heads outlet!!!
Maybe one for a galley drain and not much more on a boat of that size.

I take it they would go above the water line ?

The heads will be below the waterline and the galley above.

There may be a couple of cockpit drains?

Most sea toilets req minium 1/2 inch inlet but 3/4 may be better as there is no filter req, 1 1/2 out let for waste is about right, space them as far apart as poss, as sometimes if there too close you draw in what you have just pumped out, not a pretty sight after a heavy night!

My Fairline Sprint is that size with a leg inlet for the engine cooling water, in addition it has below waterline seacocks for the head inlet and outlet and above waterline through hull fittings (no seacocks) for Galley sink drain, heads sink drain, two cockpit drains and bilge pump outlet.

Hope this helps!
