[C38] Anchor Chain locker

Sat May 29 13:06:49 EDT 2021

Our boat is from 1982, hull 183. She had a tough life to this point, and we have been slowly bringing her back. Luckily she sits right next to the garage, so I can putter along whenever I have time. We hope to splash later this summer, but likely it will be next spring.

> Thanks Chuck and Don, there is definitely no hole in the bow, so I am really unsure how the locker is supposed to drain. I assume based on your replies that the hole in the bow  should be in a straight line below the inside drain?  I will investigate further, it would be good to return to the original configuration.
