Dolls??? My trusty "Encyclopedia of Nautical Knowledge" doesn't say anything about dolls!!!
The actual term means: An enclosed space at the extreme aft end of a vessel where one can partake in the pleasure's of ones Sears catalog.

Seriously though, part of that definition was correct. I'm not going to say which....

You guys are killin me !!!

No pix at the moment, but a brief description: a 1-1/2" thru hull on the port side, hose to head, a 3/4" thru-hull on the starboard side, hose to head. No sea cocks either side, system relies on the integrity of the head.

Needless to say, Needs to be gone.

Now Wait A Minute Here. When you guys start talking about “SEA COCKS” I always thought that was when you get to close to another boat that the guys on that boat been drinking a lot of beer and then, “all of a sudden” when you look over to them there’s dangling a bunch of SEA COCKS over the side.

SEA COCK - A through hull valve, a shut off on a plumbing or drain pipe between the vessel's interior and the sea.

Cocks at sea would be the other..........

COCKPIT - An opening in the deck from which the boat is handled.

THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND -
On a small boat there are three sheets that control the sails. The Main Sheet controls the mainsail, and two sheets that control the headsail the Windward Sheet and the Leeward Sheet. So a person that has three sheets to the wind means that the sheets are flying with the wind i.e. you do not have control of the boat. Much like someone who has three sheets to the wind does not have control over themselves.
