How many, above waterline, thru hull fittings have you got. Yesterday I counted 11 on on Sarawana. I can account for 7 of them, which has got me wondering what about the other four.It is something that I have not thought much *about before.
Perhaps it is time for some detective work.
A story of above waterline fittings. Some friends of mine bought a cruising Cat and installed Tecma toilets in the boat, no holding tank. The thru hull fitting for the discharge*was above the waterline. The boat was on the hard stand when they decided to test the new loo, a dry run so to speak.
*It hit this poor apprentice who was about*15 feet away working on another boat. Which led to some very funny observations of what was likely to happen with the boat in the water under operational conditions. They fitted a below waterline fitting.
