No limber holes were found in front of the transom. I drilled a couple and the water came pouring out.This water was just from the stringer, I'm sure more will come when I punch thru. I was a little nervous that I would drill thru a step in the bottom, so I started high and ground my way down to the bottom suface. To get thru the other side I'll have to drill blind and hope I don't hit the last step. (I've been blind since birth.) Thats why I was asking for the thickness. If it is in fact only around six inches, I should be ok. It sucks, because there seems to be no way to fix this correctly without pulling up the floor. It would have been so much nicer if the guy who probably smoked a big fat joint on his lunch break would have put them in before the stringers were sealed. Can you say Quality Control. I can't see how I'll be able to seal the outboard hole in the stringer after inserting pvc. Unless I do cutouts and install more hatches. Any ideas??? Actually, I'm only blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. The only cure is Hieniken. Thanks!
