Default What are this holes

Can anyone tell me what are these holes/channels (on each side of the boat)? Also on the right hand side of the captain seat , through the panel it was a rope which my daughter pulled it (was loose the other end). I don't know what it does nor how can I fix it. Please look on the picture and maybe somebody can answer.

    Dunno. Never seen that before. Someone do some 'custom' work? And a rope thru the panel by the drivers seat? I dont think thats original to the boat....

    I have the exact one the other side and it was a rope... they look like they were there originally. From what I know nobody did/change anything to this boat.

    Just got out my 1996 Mariah brochure, and the 1996 z212 does not have them in any of the pictures. Not sure about earlier models.

    Definately not a factory" option" on a Z212 or any other Mariah I ever seen.
    Can you ask the previous owner what's up?
    Weird setup.

    It appears to be right where the bilge pump would come out. Is it some kind of aftermarket cover for the bilge?

    Bilge fitting is on the starboard side of the boat.
