What the purpose of this is?? It is located at the lower rear just above the water line. I ask because the one on theother side is missing.. There is a 1.5" hole behind it with what looks like a wooden plug in it?? Can this be filled in or does it have a purpose. Sorry this is my first searay and my other boat did not have anything like this.
Thanks in advance

Hmmmm...it looks too low to be an engine room air intake but maybe it is. Is there a cowling (intake) higher up ? If not, it might be

What year,model boat?

Lazy Daze · Jul 13, 2009

Would help to know what year. However, I've never seen anything from the factory like that. But, then, I haven't seen everything... yet!

Could be, like you mentioned, just a plug. Who knows what the previous owner had there. Did you ask the previous owner?

Is there anything on the other side of the boat?

Is there anything connected to it on the inside?

I've seen something similar on older Sea Ray's. It is an exhaust port on the older inboard boats with another port underneath the boat for the water/exhaust. The exhaust is split between the two exit points through a large resonator in the engine compartment. This setup gives it a very distinctive sound (like the engine is about 6' from the exhaust outlet) - very deep and powerful. :smt001

Check in the engine room and see where the exhaust tubes go...

More info on your boat would help.:thumbsup:

splash shield over a deck scupper???

Stika Pimp · Jul 14, 2009

Sorry, it is a 1988 S-24 sorrento. it is not hooked up to anything in goes right into the bilge area on each side of the boat. Here is a pic without the shield on it. Just a big hole with a woden plug in it...

Looks like it might have been a bilge blower exhaust.

Where is your bilge blower exhaust located?

Stika Pimp · Jul 14, 2009

The blower vent is located about 2 feet above this.

Its a scupper cover.It was used on the 1987 S24s and some very early 1988s.There should be a hose connected to it that goes to a floor drain,as the S24s and 230ccs had self bailing cockpits.

Stika Pimp · Jul 15, 2009

ok, I am guessing that is why they are plugged then. no hoses and the floor drain has its own bilge bump in it.

Lazy Daze · Jul 15, 2009

So, you have (or used to have) a self-bailing cockpit? I'd wouldn't even think twice about converting it back to that. Why trust a pump when you can let gravity do the work for you, you know? How high above the "scupper" is the floor drain?

Stika Pimp · Jul 16, 2009

The floor drain is lower than the scuppers, ( at the bottom of the steps into the cuddy) The scuppers are at floor level, no access to them from the floor drain.
