Replacing Bulkhead in S2 9.2A

I'm replacing a bulkhead that supports the starboard masthead shroud chainplate. Water leakage weakened the bulkhead to the point where it would not support the chainplate, When cutting out the bulkhead I found what looks like a 1/4" vacuum hose stapled along the hull facing edge and it was cut up a bit from cutting through the fiberglass tabbing. It runs the length of the bulkhead under the cabin sole and I cannot find where it ends or to what it connects. I do not know if I have to replace.

Anyone know what that tubing/hose is for?

I have a 1982 S2 9.2 center cockpit boat. When I have had questions about its construction, I've received great service from Scott Bytwerk <SBytwerk@s2yachts.com>. I suggest you email him for information. Great guy.

Probably your head holding tank hose. The tank is against the bulkhead under the settee.

Thanks, I considered it may server as a vent for something, but my holding tank is under the port settee. I'm working on the starboard side that forms the aft side of the cabinet/hanging locker.

Darned if I know that one. Is there a drain in that hanging locker?
