Thats CB's Job!! ;) As long as he can pump that bike pump we will be fine!

The real problem is I put to big a gas tank in ther motor well, and there is no room???

I know you can get a hose into your bilge...do remote pump...put pump where you DO have room and run intake hose w/strainer into bottom of bilge ... I'd be figurin' out SOME way to have a bilge-pump in the boat ;) ... don't wanna read about ya in the Cape Cod Daily Fish Wrapper ::) ...

Almost an exact copy of the original, except the screw in part is brass.

$1.29 for the elbow, $18.00 for the brass part.

Great find Randleman, and I cant believe you found them at True Value. Thats the only place I never bothered to check. Expect to see some install pics.
I still prefer the ball drain to prevent water from coming in.

You da man Randle! ;D

The elbow was at True Value @ Holden Beach, the brass part was @ a plumbing supply place in Greensboro.

I have a theory on the install, I am going to cut the drain so that the elbow is what screws tight against the floor instead of having the nut, then elbow.

This should put the elbow outlet about 1" to 1.5"s higher. *Maybe that will be enough to stop the water from comming in as much. *

If that doesn't do it, I found a fitting during my search that would mount on the wall of the cockpit instead of the floor, I might try them this winter.

Using these you could run the drain into the splashwell, or out the back of the transom above the waterline.
