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.
