Well that kind of what I've been tryin' to say...that hole is the splashwell drain...water gets in and has to drain back out...except it's blocked by the motor bracket and doesn't work well...needs one on each side of the motor...no, ya don't wanna plug 'em
I don't see a bilge drain hole in your pics...should be in center about 1"or so from bottom of bilge...

Ordered 18 yards of 1708,4 gallons of polyester resin from a friends uncle in moyock,nc yesterday. just been doing a bunch prep work. Do I need to grind back all the gellcoat were my tie in points are gonna be? Thats alot of grinding and sanding. I guess my question is can you glass over roughed up gel coat? or does all of it have to come off? I read on other forums that glassing over gelcoat will depreciate the strength of the bond to the surface.

The word of today is "ITCHY"!!!!!! More prep work today. I read these post over and over and the phrase that sticks in my head is "prep work is key to a sucessfull project" I have decided to go with a 25" transom and im buying a spacer for my 20" lower end. my old lady bought me a seperate clothes hamper for my boat working clothes, she went to work the other morning itching her butt off after washing her clothes with some that i worked on the boat with. LOL!!!!! SHE WAS BENT!!! Will post some pics of my work today later

rub your arms and neck down heavy with baby powder before you start grinding, I don't know what it does, but it sure prevents itching from glass
