Forward Crash Bulkheads

The front of each hull is a crash bulkhead. 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.
Note: The forward bulkhead drain hose MUST have the shutoff valve open to ensure any collected water is drained from the bulkhead.
