Hi. I recently picked up a 1968 18' Fiberform boat with a 235 mercruiser just to find out there's more about boats I don't know than I thought! She's in good shape overall but there a couple things that need fixin'. I'm trying to find a drain hole for water that flows out two holes in the side of the bilge into (apparently) the hull, so I can drain whatever water might be in there. Also, does anyone know where to get parts (for instance, a stern light assembly & red/green plastic lens on the bow light are faded pretty badly) for an oldie like this? Anything will be greatly appreciated. :)

If you are looking for authentic lights, I would check ebay, but it seems doubtful you would find any. For modern lights, any old boating place would work. Iboats.com sells them, and they are the ones that sponsor this site. But boaters world, west marine Bass pro shops, cabelas, and all those places will sell the lights you need. Your wiring may be all screwed up too, but that is a different story.

Are you talking about your drain plug at the back of the stern??
