[C320-list] Relocate Engine Thur-Hull

I was concerned that the head sink outlet and head inlet may be to far from the center line of the boat and thus possibility come out of the water while healing.  What do you think?

Now that you talk about repurposing, my AC inlet is in the bilge next to the bilge pump.  I could see if I can make that the engine and move AC to head inlet since I only use fresh water in the head. 

I did install a 6 in inspection port above the current engine inlet.  That worked well until I added a matters topper.  Now I have to roll back the matters topper to get in between the cushions.  This makes a mess of the aft berth and upset the Admiral : (.

If you really wanted to, you could put the thru-hull under the galley sink, or
even under the head sink (possibly repurposing/combining the existing thruhulls
and maybe not need to add one).

I really haven't thought this through, but be
sure to keep it low enough that it fills and the strainer is easy to access and
close to the thruhull.

Tony,
Just put a six inch inspection plate forward of the Racor
filter.

Thanks,

I "solved that problem" by always
leaving mine open.

work??
