    Excess spray in rear seat

    Most Seaworthy 14 Ft Aluminum Boat all models all years

    Garboard drain plug

    I was able to run a pipe up from the bottom and finally work it through the floor by turning it back and forth. I think I had a situation where use of the rubber plug had deposited rubber into the threads and until it was all cleaned out the pipe wouldn't thread all the way. Anyway, once through...

    Garboard drain plug
