Hi, thanks before I forget. With the added attention and a surprisingly-lower temp overnight (sigh), I reinspected the thru-hull in the galley. Some warm water and then some upward gentle poking from outside released a clod of impacted soil and water flowed freely. The galley sink and the ice box drain as advertised (whilst on a trailer, level). Both galley and v-berth are, what I believe original, 1986 plastic 90deg ball valves; so, not bronze but not gates either. For now, I'm comfortable with them and I'll look into some StayAfloat and/or keeping a plug and tool near each. I think I'll drop an audible H2O contact alarm near each too for when we anchor overnight.

Sitting on a trailer I bet the thru hull opening in the hull could be very attractive to bees,wasps etc. To build a home.

You assume correctly. Mud daubers apparently or at least that is the evidence I witnessed falling out. The odd part is that this boat was in IA where they are present (not here) but it's been in the water for a season, then it came up here and sat in the water for the remaining season. I think these daubers' homes are so well-constructed, they're waterproof or at least highly-resistant. Cell phone manufacturers, are you paying attention???
