[Public-list] Wet bilge/Larger cockpit drains.

[Todd Redhead]

I installed 2" cockpit drains to increase the cockpit drainage.  It was not
a fun job - I had "ATOMIC 4" imprinted on my chest for a long time after.
But I am pleased with the results.

Stephen,a dry vac is a good idea while the boat is on the hard,I will try to
borrow one when I get back.I put in a bilge drain in April to hopefully
limit the amount of water that accumulates in the bilge in the Florida rainy
season.I am considering a dam at the aft end of the bilge but it is almost
impossible to work in that area with a liner boat because of the pan under
the motor.Still trying to figure a way to increase cockpit drainage without
putting more holes below the waterline.
