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.

Yes , it is the Thompson Lakes Corsair. A 1966.Great hull shape for
Lake Erie (usually large waves). No Transom Plug, only one in the
forward Bilge.I've thought about a Transom plug, but the Zinc is
directly in the way. Thanks for the sealant recommendation. I'll see
if I can find that in my locale.
