Actually, I haul her every year. My biggest problem is crud accumulating in the drain holes during the period w/o the tarp on. Todd Hi: If I remember right the cockpit drains openings are about 1" Max, maybe 3/4" ID? I say get that hole saw out and drill them over to 1 1/2" and put a mushroom head hose barb throughhull as a drain. No standing water problems then........ It would be all 1 1/2" then. I had two 1 1/2" cockpit drains. I wanted to reduce the time it took to empty my cockpit so I installed an adtioinal 2 1/4" ID drain. For a while I was thinking to go cheep and just use a 2" ID ABS residential shower drain. But went for the bronze through hull................ Bronze is a boys best friend. Cheep boats are for practice and learning. Start learning how to install through hulls! Next you can remodel the window openings and install some macho ones..... ![]() Bob |
