    Transom plugs for a cat

    I have an Aeromarine Sprint Cat with some foam in the tunnels to support and locate the batteries. In spite of my best efforts, the boat sometimes gets water inside which necessitates removing the pieces of foam to mop up completely. Can anyone suggest where or what I can use as removable transom drains? Then I could stand it up in my furnace room and let it drain/dry completely over the course of the week when I don't run it. Thanks.

    Scroll down this page for drain plugs http://kintecracing.com/Motley_Crew.html
    Personally I use a large syringe with a piece of silicone cooling line to reach into the corners.

      Looks like those plugs would pull thru from the inside? Was hoping to find something I could install and remove from the outside. If I can't find anything else, maybe I'll install a threaded brass insert in the corner and use a nylon bolt to seal it with an O ring. That should work. Thanks for the reply.

        AQ plugs mentioned above from Kintec. Epoxied in some tubing and plugs right in/out

          They install from the outside. Work like the plugs in a kids squirt gun. You push the "t" part in through the hole from the outside.

            Well, it's good to know I haven't lost the ability to miss the obvious. I'll just have to get me some of those little suckers. Thanks for the help guys. Wonder if this has anything to do with getting the senior discount at Dunkin Donuts without even asking?
