Hi All
I have just purchased a 2005 Mac 26M and noticed a small hole (about 4mm) above each of the rudder hinges. Does anyone know what they are for?
I looked on the Mac website and see that they too have them but not sure why they are there.
Thanks
Peter and Alex

Water drain holes from above where the rudder control lines enter the transom.

Beene is correct. I had to ask when I got my M.
