    Steve....I don't have a clue what that is..but did you get a new boat?? Last time I saw you you had a G3. When did you get the new ride? What is it? Can't tell much from that pic. Post some pictures of the new ride!

    It goes to the livewell overflow drains. Flapper keeps debris from entering the livewell when putting engine in reverse.

    Thanks....I just assumed the livewell overflow went to the bilge. I have now also located the overflow drain in the livewell itself.

    Think I got it all figure out now.

    Chopper....yep, traded the G3 in for a TR-186 then re-powered it with a 175 Pro-XS. Love this boat, will get pics up soon.

    That is you over flow and keep water and trash from sucking into the thru hull. I wish we still had those, great idea.

    My old '99 TR-18 didn't have that...no flapper on the overflow outlet...so, when you backed your boat in the water a little too fast in the morning....you'd wind up with a bunch of mud and debris in the livelwell as it got pushed up and in through the overflow line. Great Idea when they added the flapper.
