I have a couple of questions regarding transoms.
1. I had read on another thread that people were recommending building the transom at 26" instead of 25", is this typical?
2. If I install two bilge pumps, one at hull level and one elevated, do I need a drain plug? The only thing that will be draining into the bilge will be the anchor locker. It seems like if I get a little water in the bilge I can just pump it out. Not having a drain hole would be one less thing to forget/maintain.
3. I've read several post where people use side scuppers rather than transom or the original thru deck. What is the advantage to this?
I'm trying to finalize my transom design any thoughts or recommendation are always welcome.
