I have a 1998 model P19, and have both the rear weep hole and front hole from
the cabin liner into the bilge. I assumed that the front hole was for routing
the electrical lines as they were already there. I also have the (factory)
drain hole in the anchor locker, into the bilge. As the anchor rode locker has
a louvered door into the Vberth, I would expect that you WOULD want this drain,
considering the alternatives of wet feet. I am looking at ways to access this
drain hole to install a tubing led to a through hull (possible the sink drain)
to avoid loading up the bilge.
