Need help with 1986 WA Cuddy

I have a 86 walkaround not a cuddy it has a smaller cabin but My box is back like that and I don't belive it had a system to fill just to drain like yours. I will not be using the box as I have a bait tank that will mount over it.
It may have been an ice box for fish or bait. I will cut mine out and close the second drain hole. It makes great access to my bait and washdown thru-holes. Also the back up builge pump will be right there.

Thanks Mike.
Sounds like mine. I found out yesterday that the valve will fill & drain. The problem with filling is it keeps filling into the boat. The bilge pump quit & I had to make for the dock as the boat was taking on water. I have to find the correct way to plumb it or use it for an ice box.

I'm going to use the through hull after all.Don't know what I was thinking..To drain the new bait tank. Perfect location. I have move the new tank towards the bow and now have that great hatch left for the access. I have trimed the old tank out so that about an inch and a half of it are left to act as ribs for structural stiffness.
