Gang,

Ain't life so interesting? My 1990 P19 #626 HAD only ONE hole thru the outer hull
(cockpit drain), a hole at the base of the vberth where the electric wires run thru
and I have never found any others. Will look in rode locker again, but just had my
nose in there (almost literally) cleaning out the birds nest built there in the
winter (YUK, guess I'll screen it next winter). I added a graywater sink drain
above the water line and a bilge pump drain also above the water line. Now all I
have to do is finish hooking up the bilge pump (never have needed it, just a safety
precaution).

Proves once again that all Potters are not alike.

Ted
P19 #626
