I need to put a through deck fitting in my '76 Catalina 27. The holding tank was originally plumbed to drain out through a through hull, but as we all know that is now illegal. I have all the fittings, removed the old stuff, and now I need to drill through the deck. the question is - is there a diagram or plan or something to show where I should drill? it looks like an inch or so back from the stanchion.

You can put it wherever you think it will be a convenient run from the holding tank to the side deck. My holding tank is under the starboard settee (dinette configuration)...the pump out line goes through the bulkhead into the head, then up to the deck fitting just outside the port light near the main chains. It is NOT near the toe rail or a stanchion... The vent is right next to it... as I said, both are on the inboard side of the side deck.
