I bought an Astro 20 foot Pontoon boat about 6 months ago and it has started taking on water, naturally. I found a drain plug on the top of the middle section of the pontoon which I believe is probably the culprit and removed the plug but the hole inside is only 1/4 in diameter which would make draining the water out, a SERIOUS chore. KI would like to enlarge the hole but I do not know what the structure of the pontoon is. I was able to get a coat hanger down in there are there was some moisture on it when I got it out so I do believe it may be the one that is leaking but, like I said, I cannot tell from having such a small hole. The drain plug diameter is about .800 so there is room to enlarge the hole but I am concerned about what damage I might do to the integrity of the pontoon.
If anyone can shed some light on this IO would be most grateful. I live on a lake and there is no ramp and I do not have a trailer so the only way to get the boat out is by crane and flatbed which is pretty expensive.
Thanks!
