Just bought a 1995 Dauntless 15ft. Preparing to take it out for the first time. It is advertised as self-bailing. I do not find a bilge plug anywhere on the transom. I have 2 deck scuppers with rubber flapper valves on the outside of the transom, and 2 drains from the tub that surrounds the motor. None look like they have ever had a plug in them. I have never owned a boat without a bilge plug.
Some people tell me that that's the way it is, others say that there has to be a plug somewhere.
Right now, my best plan is to launch it, keep the trailer close and see what happens. Does anyone have a similar boat and can educate me? Thank you
