Hull drain for early series 45C

[Bertramp]

Well ... they hauled me at the beginning of last week ...... one question, where is the hull drain "the plug" on an early series 45C ? I didn't see it mentioned in the manual.
Thanks

I believe it’s in the fwd bilge. I’ll check for you tomorrow when I’m on the boat.

My 41tc didn't have any hull drain. I installed one forward as that is where the low point is when the boat is on the hard. I can't believe this boat went 37 years without one being installed as I know it was dyy stored outside for many winters.

Hey, Bertramp...where are you hauled?

We may see you Thanksgiving weekend out there. Send me a PM with your phone info and I'll see if we can catch up in Sag.

Confirmed. The hull drain is in the fwd bilge. I saw it in there and in my blueprints.

what year is your 45 ?
I'm a 1970 hull #45C360 ..... items changed over the years.

1972. 45C447.

On my boat, the drain is located between the 2 toilet pickups, but lower in the hull.
