[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 504941, member: 16767"] The part about my drains that I don’t like is they are too high. The boat will always hold a little water in each side of the tunnel, because of the drain locations. If I move the drains lower, I have to design the rear seating to allow access to the drains, so I can install & remove the plugs. I wish there was a cable activated plug that I could use, but the only one I know of is designed for bass boats, so it isn’t what I’m looking for. My boat has worked with this plug design for over thirty years. This is why I wonder if it’s worth the effort This boat will be parked under a carport when not in use, most of the time. Maybe I am overthinking this. Maybe I should leave the drains as is, and install a bilge pump in each side and call it good? [/QUOTE]
