[Rhodes22-list] Yet another cockpit drain question

[Donald Simons]

The cockpit floor on our '03 Rhodes must be set low since we often get water up through the drain with two adults and a Yamaha 8hp.  I gently insert a plastic pipe coupler with about 2" of pipe as a plug.  The coupler is the same diameter as the inside of the cockpit drain.  The water rarely comes over top and if I were to forget to remove it, the cockpit will still drain when the rain water reaches the top of the pipe.

 
This is just an alternative to a plug if anyone is interested.

Not sure where Stan buys his cockpit drain plug but it's from the same
manufacturer who sells to K-Mart, just in case anyone wants to buy one.

I quit using mine.  It's a little unnerving to see water enter the boat but
it remains in the trough when the boat is flat and returns to the drain hole
after heeling.  Your feet never get wet.

Knowing me I'd also forget to remove the plug and end up with a cockpit full
of water after the first rain.
