Interesting, on the 35-2 there are 4 drains and 2 through hulls. I don't think they are above the waterline. The aft cockpit floor is lower than the forward one. Both sets of drains are forward. Replaced valves and hoses a few years ago. Reused the through hulls although the tabs inside got busted trying to hold them to unscrew the valves. C&C should have used real through hulls that are bolted to the hull.
