Been thinking about the spaces and the grid system underneath the sole IE floors,
I want to add a strainer for the air conditioning pump. The bilge pump area that's been cut is already cluttered enough.

Been looking for photos of the grid without the plywood on top!

Als,o what is the good or bad of drilling holes (not big) across the grid for additional "stuff"? wires, tubes, cables etc...

From other forum folks. There are some wires and water pipes in the beams, so be careful.. small holes are probably ok if not close to the edges and not closely in line..Note that the big openings in the aft beam picture were being re-fiberglassed to repair grounding damage to the grid.

Kloudie thank you! I can see now the bilge is much larger than I thought! but of course the plywood on top has the settee bunk on top of it.
