Don't drill a hole. Check it out from the aft cabin night stand. Also take the aft cabin stairs out and follow the starboard exhaust hose, you may be able to access them from there with the camera. I'm thinking your going to have to cut an access panel in the aft head wall, aft of the aft head to maybe gain access to them thru hauls?

That's what I am thinking, going down this weekend, will check out the best access area with the camera and drillng a few hole, then devise a plan of attack. I am hoping I can get to them from the walls behind the aft toilet or underneath the toilet. Will post what I find after the weekend.

You know them thru hauls are right under the aft head starboard window. Which would lead me to believe they are right under the head area or the floor of the aft head sink? Still think Flex Seal them unless you have positive evidence of leakage into the bilge.

I hope it's the floor of the sink! But I think the sit further back toward the toilet wall, behind toilet. Thanks for the tip, checking it this weekend. Hi

TG - take a look at the pic in the "Mariner Forward Bilge Water - redux" post, in the Model Discussion category. At least you will be able to see what to expect on the inside of the thru-hull. er

My a/c has decided to drain into engine bilge. Hey problem solved, right?? Nope. Rear bilge pump will stop with about 3/4 inch still sloshing around. Wet dry vac will suck out rest, until a/c removed more humidity from Galveston’s wet air. Can’t seem to find a bilge with 0 clearance. Drain pan around a/c fills up so maybe a smaller pump but still more than will drain into thruhul.

A Mermaid condensator works very well and rather easy to install, converted my previous boat to this that also drained to the bilge. http://marinewholesales.com/en/product.php?id=477

If you only want to get the bilge dryer.....It seems I remember that Whale bilge pumps had a model that was designed for odd spaces and get down low. Not sure how good they are, maybe someone will have some experience with them and chime in....

I have tried the whale submariner and do not recommend them as mine failed prematurely. I the went with this that accomplishes the same thing. https://www.amazon.com/Rule-Horizontal- ... B07744C91C That being said they remove quite a bit more however you will still always have a wet bilge.

Looks like the easiest solution is making an access panel somewhere in here. Thinking maybe a nice piece of teak to cover it? There is a possibility of maybe getting access by under the sink, but it the hours spent dismantiling everything in such a tight area I still don't think I can reach the one in question. Used inspection camera but got a better pic by putting my cell phone into a small opening under the sink and angling the phone back to the stern. 1st hose is the drain for sink. Of course the thru hull. In question is the farthest one away. At first I thought it the sink drain line clamp slipped off , but the tube from the thru hull extends back a bit into the corrugated tube. Dont no why it wasn't double clamped.
