Well I have a 1979 V22 Outrage and usually I use it off my trailer . I now have it in a slip and wonder which drains I can leave open besides the anchor locker and the two boxes fore and aft in the bow ? I have the transom plugged and the bottom of the fish box and the drain in the big box infront of the console . There are eight all together . Can I leave open the starboard stern tunnel drain ?? Please help ? thank you Bob
P.S . I looked on Continuous Wave and it wasnt cleaer to me !!!
Every boat is different so my suggestion is to jump in the boat at rest and pull all the plugs. If you get no water over the deck, then you can leave them all out. If you get too much water in, then you may want to plug select drains and install a sump pump. If you go the sump pump, remember that nothing can drain your battery faster than a week of rain, so either get a trickle charger and shore power, or a solar panel.
