We have a small hole in the sole of the companionway for this purpose as well.

My hope is that I will see the carpets floating, before ... the water rises so high it is coming out of the galley drawers :)

The factory started drilling one for all boats at the base of the companionway step, beginning, I believe, with the early 1997 models.

You can just see it in this pic of my boat.

our '98 26X has nicely installed electric powered
Whale faucets in the head and the galley. Never
use the one in the head. Completely agree sink
and water supply in head are a total waste of space.

Mine was a 97, how early I'm not sure.

Hi Scott,

I am pretty sure that the serial number tells the year and month the boat was made.
The last 2 digits is the year, and the third from last digit(s) is the month.
