Yep! That's where Touche's bilge discharge is located. Right under the toe rail midships portside. And right now, it's docked portside to on a floating pier. My 1500 gph pump can throw a nice spurt onto the pier. :) The Admiral and I call it the "spurt zone" and know to avoid it.
I have to remember to turn the pump off when I'm waxing the portside. The bilge/sump on the 35-1 is so small that when the pump activates, it essentially just fills the hose. Early on, it just pumped water up the hose where it simply drained back into the sump, repeatedly. I opted for the shortest length of hose and the Bosworth check valve. Perhaps not the ideal configuration for dock "etiquette" or for when the port toe rail is buried but certainly effective emptying the bilge. -- Dennis C.
