Funny you should mention that phatdaddy. I have been unhappy with how much offset there is between the drain hole and the keel as I've been spraying down the dust to save my shop vac, so my plan has been to redrill that more flush with the bilge, and when I do I plan to oversize it and pack the perimeter with a slurry of chopped strand and epoxy.
