Hunter 31 thru-hulls in convenient places?
I was just lurking until I read the last post of Paul from Niagra Falls. I have always thought the 31 had pretty convenient thru-hull locations. I blocked off the holding tank over-board so all I have forward is the head inlet under the sink (Yeh, you have to get on your knees). The drain under the galley sink (always closed except when using the galley). The engine raw water inlet by the batteries under the rear berth. (First thing opened and last thing closed on every outing) We did install an arm to hold up the hatch over the batteries to make it a one hand job to operate the raw water handle. (We also put hinges on the rear edge of the hatch.) The first thing we did when we bought this boat (1987 Hunter 31) was replace all of the gate valves with ball valves.
