[Rhodes22-list] CB Pennant drain

[Mark Whipple]

Jesse,

On my boat the drain was behind a teak or oak covering which was attached
to the boat with screws and small angle brackets. I'll try to remember to
take pictures when I reassemble things. It was pretty easy for me to
remove. Sounds like your boat may be a little different.
