[Rhodes22-list] Yet another cockpit drain question

[Michael D. Weisner]

I do not like to plug up the drain, just in case we take on water or I spill
my beer.  Until now I used a 7.5 HP Suzuki 2-cycle that weighed less than 50
lbs and I never got water to the cockpit floor.  I now have a 6 HP 4-stroke
that is a bit heavier so I may get wet feet.

And when you have those 200#ers in the cockpit with you it is wise to put a
plug in the cockpit drain to keep your feet dry.
