Post subject:  2001 Horizon Front Bilge?

After having used my fathers Horizon the past 15years I'm now the owner (inheriting all the problems as well :shock: ).
I've solved many of my own questions already.. trailer surge brake bleed/reverse lockout; crappy VP fuel cell; replacement latches but have a few left.

One is the front bilge. The rear one (pickup under front of engine) outputs on the port side rear. But there is also an output on the starboard side mid-ship. I did not see a separate bilge in the floor locker. Know where this one is hiding?

What size Horizon? Are you sure it is for bilge pump and not for something else like a fuel vent?

PS: Welcome to the forum ;)

My Horizon 240 has only one bilge pump (under the engine). On the port side, I have two through-hulls: 1 for the sink, and a smaller one for the drain in the built in ice chest.
Some horizons had cup holders in front of the windshield, and there is a possibility of it being a drain for those?

On my 180 Horizon, the glove box doubles as a drink cooler. It has a drain that exits on the starboard side in line with the dash. Maybe it belongs to something similar...

Could get an air line from a compressor and slowly blow air back up that line and then listen for where the air is coming out.

My 2000 H180 had a drain for the dash cooler on the port side.

Sorry.. is a 230 Horizon (2001). @kmack.. think you are on to something. I always referred to that as the dry storage box (under the glovebox). Will check tonight. Makes sense now why all those papers got wet when I was hosing out the gunk from that mysterious bilge bung :oops:

you were shooting water up the 24" hose that is the drain for the cooler. :lol: i just added a 90* ball valve to mine so that i can keep the cool water in when i want and drain when i want.

Ooops! I meant on the "port" side. I can't always remember my left from my right sometimes! :?
