[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 503740, member: 16767"] Jeff, I like how low your drains are on your tunnel boat. Mine sit a little higher. That’s why I put the bunks on the trailer at such a steep angle. I want the boat to drain when it is on the trailer. When I’m out crabbing in my 1648 tiller boat, I can pull the plug while running and it will drain pretty well, and it’s easy to do the way the seating is. Access to the drain plugs in my tunnel boat is not good, it is kinda hard to get to the plugs. Pulling the plugs while underway, would not be something I would want to do, unless I was taking on water or some kind of emergency. I’ve been planning on running two bilge pumps, one on each side adjacent to the plug location. What are your thoughts on this? Do you run bilge pumps, or am I overthinking this? I do plan on pulling crab pots with this boat, so I know water will be coming in. [/QUOTE]
