Unhappy 17cc Logic forward (bow) garboard drains?

You will all enjoy this one! New ,used boat ,put it in the water after checking out "everything". Lifted fwd bow hatches and saw lots of water, pulled boat and went home. reinspected hull no holes . put hose in bow lockers and water ran out under trailer bunks. found two P&S places where plugs should go! Called dealer (not Logic) and He didn"t know about them either. Where can I get these plugs, they appear to be custom Logic plugs . BTW why are they there? Help would be greatly appreciated as the striper run is goood and my grandson is all over me to fish. Thanks!

Those forward drains are used to drain the fish boxes when you fill them with ice and fish. That way they don't drain into the bilge and get all smelly and nasty. You can just hose them out and the water goes directly out of the boat...as you found out.

The plugs are nothing special...you should be able the find them at your local marine dealer and/or parts store. I believe they are 3/4 inch but don't quote me on that. Mine have a little lever at the top to adjust the tension and flip over to secure in the drain hole.

BTW...you're not the first one to forget to put those in...actually, you can leave one or both out and use that space as a live well. When you get up on plane the water drains out and when you slow down, it fills back up the the water level of the boat.

Personally, I use them for storing my bow anchor and my front fishing seat when I'm not using it. Keep in mind that even with the plug in you may get a little water in there anyways. I hope this helped you out.

Tight lines.

Smile Thanks for the bow drain plug info!

Your explanation made me very Happy! For the life of me I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting water back to the aft bilge and pump. I never thought about a straight shot out! thanks I think I'll go fishing now!

Your best bet is to get the rubber expansion type of plugs. That is what we currently use in the bow bins of the 15' and 17' boats.
