wrote: My Chris Craft has one forward Bilge Plug on one side of the hull beside the keel. When I store the boat, I drop the nose to allow water to escape. The trouble is that it only drains on that side. Water still stays in the boat on one side. Would anyone install another matching plug on the other side by themselves, or would you have a Pro do it? Just curious. I have to end this problem, and wondered how tough this operation is. There's lots of room to work in the area. Is this the Corsair? Interesting configuration. The boat I had, which was a year older than yours (I think), had a transom drain plug also. Your's doesn't? In any case, it's not hard to do - I've seen it done. It's a guestion on a hole saw, brass insert, brass screws and some sealant - your choice, but I'd use 3M 5200. The hull in that particular location on that boat is fairly accessible. Then again, you might want a pro to take the liability for doing it. Up to you really. |
