[Fischer53]

Many times at the old site there was the phrase "Call the guys at Merritt". I was always reluctant as you folks need to make a living and its unlikely that I would turn into a paying customer from Connecticut. But the kickoff notice for this site said you would be participating so now I'll put you on the spot.

I am real interested in putting a drain plug between my inner and outer hull on my '04 170 CC. I got a couple of gallons of water when I drilled screw holes for for my fish finder. The boat had sat on the dealers lot over the winter and the water could have come from the loose plug on the center stringer or the poorly sealed mounting bolt on the engine. Its getting to be winter here in CT, so now is the time to drain out any additional water that might be there. Besides, "sealed" is always a relative term when you are talking about boats that get pounded in the salt.

I suspect that there are a number of folks that would also like those instructions and this would be a way to minimize pestering you folks. I'm just looking for guidance so I can stay between the hulls and avoid anything that might be molded in that area between the hulls. I also suspect that some hardware is better than otheres to use. I would appreciate anything you can offer.
