Garboard drain plug on a 460DA
Has anyone installed a drain plug? This year I had a new morning cover made for winter storage. I went down to boat this past sunday after the extreme cold spell to find my aft bilge pump well with frozen water that had accumulated over the past couple of months. now thinking of installing drain plug. any help will be appreciated.

Would be fairly easy to mount once you locate where the hole needs to be... Can you access the proposed area from the bilge?

Or just add "wet vac the well" to your winterizing list.

Personal opinion, less holes in hull the better. Agree with above, wet vac
