I have no idea why a previous owner made this modification? It looks purposeful and does not look to be a repair to fix something. Any ideas why it was done?

overly large cockpit drain with a rotted & missing scupper flap?

I can't tell if that says EDSC or EDSO...
according to http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/ EDSC could stand for Extended Depth Salvage Capability...

EDSO stands for European Deaf Sport Organization

However I'm guessing it actually reads EDSON and stands for http://www.edsonmarine.com/ and probably had something to do with a self steering system that used to be on the boat.

Edson made a wheel steering installation for rudders hung on gudgeons on small craft. I had something similar on a Catalina 25 but it was by Merriman who went out of business. That looks like part of the wheel steering installation kit.

You silly people... It's a cleanout port. This section of the boat often refered to as the "poop deck".....

No, no..... it's a mail slot, for the postman so he doesn't have to get out of the dinghy to deliver your tax return.

tray slot so when the Admiral confines your carcass to the boat the guards can get your food in

I did find it was a great step up into the boat when I tied the stern line to a tree and dropped an anchor off the front while going ashore at Lake Seminole while we stayed on it for the weekend.
