[Rhodes22-list] Yet another cockpit drain question

[Rick]

Glue a wedge shaped rubber door stopper to the bottom of your boat just
forward of the drain hole.  The pointy end of the stopper should point
forward.  The turbulence created by the thicker end of the stopper by the
hole will be enough to keep water out of the drain even with a cockpit full
of Honey Booboo moms.
