Re: Relocate Drain plug for Smart tabs
The boat is in fact a 1957 Glasspar Avalon. I thought it was very strange location for a drain plug, but bad design or not, it's there so I have to deal with it. There is no bilge area to speak of and thus, no bilge pump. Maybe I could just plug the darn thing up and not have a drain plug, unless thats not legal? and put a pump in the back just in case. That is in fact an optical illusion as the floor area you see in the pic is about 6 inches higher than the actual floor of the back "bilge" area, it's raised at a different level for the cockpit area. And it's the angle of the shot too. The drain is actually even with the floor in the back and is completely visible from inside the boat.
Thanks for the suggestions and info guys. I have many options to consider now and I know now that it can be done if needed.
