    Nize work! mon, nothing like a clean bilge.

    You need at least a couple ball valves on those drain exits.
    Technically they seem pretty distant from any immediate access.

    Ball-valves might be mounted in line on the existing stubs there,
    with completely exposed on/off two-arm handles.
    Wonder, since the exits are close to fore-n-aft bulkheads,
    if the quarter-turn handle on the valve could be rigged so that they
    could be shut off remotely. A dowel pinned to the handle
    and extended along the bulkhead to the companionway
    where they could be pushed to close, for instance, and pulled
    to open.
    Or better, if pinned to the bottom of the two-armed handle,
    you would pull the dowel to close the valve,
    and push it to open the valve handle in line with the hose.
    That way would keep the extension 'handles' out of traffic.

    just talking.....
