Thanks Rob.

My other boat isn’t self draining, as are most boats in these parts….so we are quite accustomed to having a wet bilge, and trusting the bilge pumps to do a lot of work.

Having said that, having a self draining boat is pretty neat, and we try to keep the bilge as dry and clean as possible. In my upcoming haul up, I’ll either turn it around, or remove it, depending on the measurements of the other vented openings. Thanks for the input.

I also clearly have to raise the bottom paint line as well.
