[C320-list] ANCHOR CHAIN WELL DRAIN

[sail-ability at sympatico.ca]

I managed to get a look and inspect the chain locker hose, exactly as described below by Dave.  The hose is black ribbed and is clamped with a single clamp at chain locker and thru Hull. I assessed the hose to be good enough for this season, but will replace it at seasons end. Will likely need a heat gun to get the hose off, and I’ll double clamp the replacement. 
Thanx for this forum

In addition to accessing the drain hose, anchor locker fitting and thruhull by removing the wood panel directly at the front of the v-berth ......... the thruhull and lower part of the hose can be accessed by removing the wood panel above the front water tank and then looking forward directly over the water tank. That would probably be the easiest way to replace the thruhull and reach that hose connection.  However, you would still need to go thru the panel in front of the v-berth to get to the anchor locker drain fitting and upper part of the hose.
