[Rhodes22-list] Yet another cockpit drain question

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Water coming into the cockpit is simply a matter of weight distribution.  
Remember, the R22 sails best with nose down.

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.
