JT, You refer to this boat as a C&C 25 Redline. Is this a C&C 25 or is it a Redline 25? As the drawings below show, they are distinctly different boats. I built Redline 25s in my first summer working in the Custom Shop in 1968 before there was even a C&C, and the cockpit drains were located in the aft cockpit bulkhead and, if I remember correctly, drained straight out to the transom with two hose barbs and a short piece of hose connecting them. How we managed to connect the hose to the barbs in this tight inaccessible space, I can't remember. However, the system was pretty straight forward, with no seacocks or gate valves, because it was all above water. The C&C 25s had I believe conventional cockpit drainage at the forward end of the cockpit through gate valves on thru-hull fittings below the waterline. However, once you identify which 25 it is, I again reiterate that all the drawings for these boats are in the C&C Collection at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston (http://www.marmuseum.ca/) , and are available for purchase, so if there is any doubt about any feature on the boat, it can be readily rectified.
