[alberg30] Try to avoid this

[Douglas Wight]

I had the same problem one year with the floor boards lifted up and floating on about 4 inches of ice.  The January rains always used to end in the bilge.  The cure to all my worries was to install a garboard plug about 2 inches above the bottom of the bilge.  I have never again had this problem and now have perfect peace of mind in this regard.

    Dan, 
    When storing the boat on land, I like to disconnect the engine 
    intake hose and leave that seacock open.  That limits the depth 
    of any water.
