I thought I stumped you on that one......... :D

1. You should have one plug in the front largest locker. The bow locker and side locker should drain into the one large locker. This large locker should have a plug and most likely a bilge pump.

2. You should also have 1 plug in the starboard sump area just before the splashwell.

There are also 2 thru hull drains that go out the stern of the boat in the splashwell area but these should not have plugs in them unless you have a specific reason for doing so.

So, for your 1988 20 foot model, you should have 2 one inch plugs.

I never use plugs in mine at all. How would float the water out?

ole,

Bilge pump in the sump and one in the large front locker.

Or, if no bilge pump in the sump, it will only get as deep as the top of the splashwell.
