The motor is freshwater cooled.
It is a real shame about the head modification. On the positive side, the bulkhead that was reduced is not the one with chainplate mounts - those mount to the aft wall of the head - and the corresponding closet wall on the port side.

I know exactly where you're talking about since I have one...and that really sucks. Are you saying that he essentially sawzalled a "window" in that v-berth bulkhead? I don't know how that particular piece fits within the structural design of the boat, but do you think you could square it and brace/fill it instead of completely replacing it?
Since the major load bearing happens in that aft bulkhead between the head and the galley (where the compression post is), it seems like it might be salvageable. But I'd definitely want to find out for sure from someone who knows.
Jeez - people sure can dream up some crazy modifications.
BTW - you should see the bubble machine I installed using my thru-hulls. Very cool.
PS - Is it just mine, or do all C27s point like a mofo?
