On my west coast Triton (Blossom, #106) the anchor locker water drains through a limber hole to the area under the v-berth which then drains through another limber hole to the area under the wet locker (starboard side) or the head (port side). From there it goes through another limber hole to the area under the saloon settee and through another limber hole to the cabin floor. Obviously, not the best design. It was not a great situation when the cabin sole is the original fiberglass. Now with the teak and holly verneer I installed a couple of years ago this is becoming a disaster.
I searched around on this forum for an answer and found some limited discussion on this thread (http://www.plasticclassicforum.com/view ... abin+drain). I also discussed this issue with my friend Rob Heggen. He shared with me that on his late model version the area under the sole is not used as a built in water tank (as is the case on early model west coast Tritons). It is used as bilge. So on his boat the PO drilled a hole right in front of the limber hole in the saloon settee bulkhead so that any water come out of the limber hole goes into the bilge.
I expressed that if I can re-route the anchor locker drain another way I would not expect much water from anywhere else. As a result I would not need to drill holes in the cabin sole and be forced to convert my built in water tank into a useless bilge. Tim commented from the other thread:
I cannot agree with this statement more. I am also interested in finding out how other people address their interiod drainage issues. In particular how you drain your anchor lockers.Limbers make good sense in a lot of cases, but not if they provide a passage for bilge water into supposedly dry storage lockers. Do your best to keep your storage lockers isolated and dry. Water shouldn't get in there on its own; if it does, find out why and fix the problem.
Thank you in advance for your comments/ideas.
