Drain Plugs on a 92 Comp & Bildge Question

[jet]

DUDE! Never ask another man how often he packs his shaft! Not Coool. LMAO. Thanks, I just made my old girl better by upgrading her with newer ideas. My sundeck idea came from the 07' Mastercraft (direct drive) it has a small sundeck and then the rear seat can be pulled out and put on top to make a big sundeck. Cool idea. Everything else is engineered the way I would build one. Buy some extra packing and you will have to add about 3"-5" each year or just tighten it 1st to see if the drip slows down. You got a great deal on your boat, enjoy it man. Jet

Fair Point on the topic of shaft packing...I thought about that after I hit the submit button. I know Jason said that Jim did the packing last spring, so I am thinking maybe some adjustment is needed. But, it sounds like we are on the same page with the bilge, so it may be fine. I just did not have a gauge for what was normal or excessive, however it sounds to be normal. I don't think I will ever have an empty bilge...Unless I pull her outta the water.

I really like the boat. Jason did a nice job with this and it really gets a lot of look on the water. We have put about 20 hours on it since purchase and love it...Thanks!
