Did you use the same (below waterline) exit holes? Or did you drain above waterline? I have been considering reworking mine to eliminate below waterline holes the next time the boat is pulled. I was thinking of just draining into the engine (OB) area which has its own drain hole. Any thoughts?

Catalina used 1 1/2" exhaust hose for the drain hoses which had disintegrated on my boat. I took the advice of a previous post and went to an auto parts store and located a 1 1/2" hose with a 90 degree bend. The hose is a Gates P/N 21953 which cost $15.76 each. You have to cut a little more than an inch off of each end of the hose but it is was a great fit. Just thought I would pass on the info.
