"Water exhaust"!

That's a bilge outlet. "Bilge" is waste water that collects in a special compartment low down in the ship and is pumped out. Anything bigger than a punt has one. Bilgewater is really nasty stuff. My old boy has some interesting stories about bilge-cleaning and valve changing from when he was a deck officer cadet in the Merchant Navy.
