The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
for my boat a 14' Chrysler how would i make it a self bailing cockpit. would like to do lobstering with this boat and a self bailing **** put would be nice.
In the RC boat world there is a device called an auto bailer. Perhaps there is a larger version for full size boats. It only works when the boat is under way.
Self bailing cockpits have a sole (floor) higher than the waterline. Holes in the transom allow any water entering the cockpit to drain out by gravity.
If your current boat has a floor lower than the waterline you're out of luck.
