General
Description: The front of each hull is a crash bulkhead
Notes

  • One boat had water collect in both bulkheads, caused by leaking stanchions, this caused the bulkhead to become rotten
  • There is a small inspection hatch at the top of the bulkhead to inspect for water or damage
  • A 12mm drain hose exits the bulkhead and runs along the bottom of the floor in the forward lockers with a shutoff valve
  • The forward bulkhead drain hose MUST have the shutoff valve OPEN to ensure any collected water is drained from the bulkhead
