i have 5 sea chests on the side of the hull, 3 on port, 2 on starboard.
all discahrges (shower sumps, bilge pumps, sinks, ACs, etc...) are routed
to these sea chest. Each just has a discharge hole near just above water
line... all fittings to the sea chests are at least 12" above the water
line.
pretty good setup since it eliminates rows of thruhulls...
