17' 2003 Trophy Boat Owners
I would like to hear from 17' 2003 Trophy boat owners to verify existing or non-existing drain channels. When removing the center console interior popup I discovered what appeared to be a drain channel located in the center pointing in the stern's direction. When I inserted a snake I discovered that it was blocked either intentionally or they forgot to remove the plug. The bilge also has a drain channel that is also inaccessible. Is this by design or has someone goofed? -- Ernie Everyone dies, but not everyone lives. A. Sachs |

Why not just call Trophy support. They are very helpful. They sent me PDF
copies of the construction of both my hull and deck/insert (2003 Trophy 1802 WA) when I wanted to do some additions which required some cutting and drilling. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to send you the requested information which will be good for future reference. "Ernie" wrote in message ...

Just because you could not get a snake down it does not mean it is blocked.
It may open up somewhere. Pour a bucket of water down it and see if it comes out. "Ernie" wrote in message ...

Since he lives in Maine as I do that MIGHT not be the best
approach right now. Trust me on this. Mudfish 19' Reedcraft F/S (semi-sled) Merc Jet 80. "Lawrence James" wrote in message nk.net...

If your weather is as cold as the Maritimes, the water would probably freeze
pouring from the bucket :-) Mudfish(Co30) wrote in message . .. Since he lives in Maine as I do that MIGHT not be the best approach right now. Trust me on this. Mudfish |

You are absolutely correct. Yesterday's and today's temperature have been
hovering between -15 Fahrenheit degrees and seven above. Pouring water for test purposes would not be advisable. "Don White" wrote in message ...
