I thought I looked carefully but perhaps I did miss it. There was a jack holding the boat dead center. It probably is under there.

Your schematic does not pertain to my craft. My holding tank is under the port bench not under the vee berth. I do not have two sinks in my 1981 tall rig. Thanks for your help though. Maybe it helped someone else.

The hull opening is right beneath the valve. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Thanks, Don. I guess it must be like Davy J said, it's either camouflaged with gunk (they haven't washed the bottom yet) or the jack stand that is under the bow is covering it.

Found it. It's tiny. The jack stand was hiding it.
