35 TE drain plug

[Halcyon]

Hi, does anyone know if there is a hull drain plug on a 35 TE, 2003? I lost the house battery last year while the boat was on the hard because a leak kept the bilge pump working. I suspect the engine room vents and dorade boxes are letting the water in and want to drain the boat while i find the leak this winter.

I know there is a drain in the keel, but don't know if the keel is connected to the bilge.

Thanks!

My 2002 only has the one in the keel. I would assume that tipping the boat back and forth while is it suspended in the straps would drain the bilge out the hole in the keel.

Yes, this drain is at the bottom of the bilge in the mid section (engine room).
The center pump is located nearby under the battery box on mine. There
is a bulkhead between the mid and forward keel sections so water in
the forward section will not drain through this and should be pumped
dry manually.
