What Is It? Part On The Boat

[johnc62]

New to boats. I have to black nipples (about as big as a quarter round) on the top rear of my 1995 Cajun 17 1/2' boat. They are attached to rubber hoses. What purpose do these serve? They look like some type of venting system. <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />John

johnc62,<br /><br />My guess is that they may be livewell overflow drains.

I agree with djohns19 and would add that one of the two could be for the bilge pump.<br />One question.When you say top,I assume you mean at the top,but on the side or back of the boat,is that correct????

I ahd to do some repairs to the boats deck and found that they both run to the gas tank. I assume that they are vents for the gas tank.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />John

John,<br />You assume correctly. They would be vents!
