4.5.3 Hull openings

Your boat has a number of openings through the hull. Check here their locations and their purpose.

The hull openings serve as drains leading excess water away from your boat and as vents for the water system and different tanks on your boat. It is important to keep the hull openings open and clean from debris and dirt.
