Livewell Seacock

[wschapinjr]

The black "coax" thing now appears to be a drain line from the port transom scupper that runs "uphill" by the gas tank and the transon support to the starboard scupper line which ties into the rest of the drains that then goes thru the hull. Interesting concept....it appears that the line goes uphill! Almost defies gravity.
Now that I know what the line is, I could cut it and install a barbed fitting that will allow me to disassemble and move the line out of the way when I need to get to the seacock. Also, I am guessing that this line will capture water and need to be drained/treated/blown dry next fall when the boat is winterized. We have been known to get a tad below freezing up here!
Seems like a lot of work just to get at a valve......

wschapinjr,

I checked with Triumph on this one and they are not sure what you are referring to.

170's don't have scuppers. If it is the drains in the spashwell you are referring to they "T" into the lower drain for the baitwell. If it is the SS drain near the fuel fill that is for the bilge pump which almost always runs up hill as the pump is located in the lowest part of the boat.

Ok...I wrote that early this AM so I'll try to clarify. There are two motor well drains that are connected together that then go to the rest of the drains that exit the hull thru the transom. Looks like all baitwell, fish well, cooler and the like are tied to a common line.
I'll try to get a picture of the pipe later today.

From the factory:

Yes those 2 drains T into the main drain from the baitwell.
