On the transom of my F26. The top hole has a screen in it and the bottom one (there are three of them in a row) go straight through the transom.

Don't know about the bottom one but I have one just like the top one and it's the vent for my fuel tank.

The one with a screen in it is most likely a fuel tank vent. The ones that go straight through the transom are most likely scuppers to drain water out of the cockpit. My cockpit has drains in the floor that are connected to hoses that run to the scuppers. You can see one of the drains at the bottom left of this picture.
You can also see my two fuel tank vents in the upper part of my avatar picture and my two scuppers in the lower part of my avatar picture.

Check the vent screens every once in a while my friends silverton had a blocked one and it vapor locked that tank up he had to run back on the other tank for both engines causing the boat to list to the one side but he got back in. We pulled the vent hose off and it was blocked in the elbow blew it and all was good but a headache I think it was mudd wasps.
