I looked at a high end outboard, new, 18 ft dual console boat yesterday that had the double wall/full flotation construction.
The inside cockpit floor at the rear on the floor had a drain on each side.
the drain hose went below the floor to the transom , with the exit below the water line. Inside the transom of course you had a hose going from the transom hole up to the deck drain.
It seems to me if the hose fails the water will come into the boat- is this common, or do other deck drains drain out above the waterline where it would be safe?
