Ken ... could be to gain access to the bolt nuts that mount the float
fittings to the float through the spreader bar stubs.

Good morning gentlemen

For the 1800 amphib floats, page 3-19 dated 03/27/95 says to drill a 1
3/8" access hole into the inboard side of bulkheads E and H at the top.
Does anybody know why? Is it just access to pump out that little
section between the double bulkheads? It would seem to make more sense
to make a hole at the bottom for that section to drain into an adjacent
large compartment? Is there any other purpose for these access holes?

thanks
Ken
