[Rhodes22-list] Water in the cockpit when motoring

Wed Jun 10 00:51:02 EDT 2015

I don't have the problem but did in an earlier boat (Grey Mist - Montgomery
17) and used a wooden plug that I got from a marine supply house.  Worked
like a charm. That said, Rick is right in that remembering to remove it
when finished is the trick.

Cheers,
