Fish box drain holes

[epick4811]

The bunks on my trailer cover the drain holes in the bow fix boxes, causing a very
slow drain after I take the boat out of the water. Is it safe to adjust the position
of the bunks?

I've never had that problem with mine although I never put the plugs in either and the water seems to drain fine for me.

I'll end up with about 6-8" of water in the boxes while boating and as soon as I take off it drains right out and it also drains out as I put it up on the trailer.

I wouldn't change the configuration of the bunks as they are from what I understand designed and spaced to keep the hull from flexing out of shape while it is on the trailer.

I guess you could take a 1 in hole saw and drill through the bunk as long as the hole isn't lined up with a bunk support, but then that might weaken the bunk too.

Thanks Jan. I'll have to try running without the plugs in.

One other thing...Don't open the fishbox cover while running at any speed if the FB is empty as you will get pretty wet. I sure did. Lol
