Hey Gang,

Was under my boat today (new purchase), and spotted a thru-hull under the bow, just to starboard of centerline.

It was capped off.

What is this?

A thru hull in that location is not a standard installation. While I am not sure, my guess is that the boat had a marine head installed sometime during its previous life. You don't say where it is fore and aft, so it could also be for a knotmeter paddle wheel.
