Brent,
If I were you I think I would consider filling all the
little holes and using the big holes for a standard rotating through hull
with linkage to valves mounted directly on top of the MBT's. Or maybe plug
all the holes and relocate new through hulls for the same purpose. That
way you can eliminate the need for plumbing to the valves and the through hull /
valve combination. The over all design may not look as clean but you can
solve your valve and corrosion problems and they would vent much
better also. I know if I had mine to do it over again, I
would have done it that way.

Dan,
I don't see any
thing like that. It does have a standard snorkel, and you can see
if you look carefully the downward turned float part of the snorkel. I
also thought it might be an extension of the snorkel but the picture shows the
snorkel float as it was when I got it.
Here are the pictures of the
conning tower parts being removed.
I really don't like the multi-hole mounting
design used for these valves. Dan isn't yours a single hole configuration that
you turned some parts for it? Also the exterior top area of the valves
holds some water, so that area got some heavy rust pitting I'll have to weld
in.

Not much of an idea Brent.
It doesn't happen to have part of a 1950 Chevy pickup
rear view mirror still stuck to it, does it?
That's the only thing I can think of.
Do you have a snorkel on it? Most of the K-subs
have one but it should be closer the conning tower, unless they added a piece
of tubing.

I had a couple of pictures that came with my subs
documentation thats some of you have not seen. I don't know what the little
rod coming out in front of the dome is
for.
