I've owned quite a few sailboats, but at the age 71 I needed a smaller and more easily managed single hander.......I think I've found her in my new purchase...1984 Cat. 27' Diesel, Tiller. I discovered something I don't really understand, or recognize.......I have in the lazzerette, a plastic bottle with a hose leading to the "engine room" that appears to have a red liquid in it. The hose is approx. 1" OD. I haven't chased it down yet, but it seems strange to me and I don't know it's purpose. Thanks to anyone who could shed some light on this bottle. It's too cold to go to the boat and trace it out at this point. Thanks,
