New to forum and relatively new to pontoon boating. I would like to thank all the veteran boaters that share their knowledge and expertise here, it is great that you are willing to help folks out!
I have a 1999 21' Sun Tracker Fishing Barge that has water in the right pontoon and is listing on the hoist and riding really low in the water. I have been trying to remove the red drain plug on the right rear for a couple of days. The few times I lucked out and got a wrench on the plug, it just rounded the corners. Unless I am missing something, this plug placement is about as poor a design as I have seen. Called the company and that was not a whole lot of help. I am amazed that this plug is a foot or so inside the metal trim channel. If there is any GOOD way to get to this drain plug, I would really like to hear from you. Thanks in advance for any advice, and thanks again for sharing your ideas and information. I have learned a lot in reading the various posts over the past few days.
