[QUOTE="rusty.hook, post: 193409, member: 3628"] If I buy a boat and it does not have a bilge pump, I always install one, just in case I need it. I also put my plug in from the inside, not from the outside in case the bilge is not working or not keeping up with the incoming flow I can pull it. I have in the past in a sudden Texas rain storm had to pull the plug and had the bilge on at the same time. If the plug is inside, you can reach it, if it is on the outside most of the time you cant reach it or see it. Also if you notice the more the boat sits deeper in the water the better the chance you will have for a wave come over the side or back. If you notice most of the newer aluminum boats have the plug on a chain from the inside, not the outside, jus' sayin' [/QUOTE]
