18 help scuppers and overboard drain

Just an update, I installed the armstrong hatch in the back of my baitwell, and would highly recommend it. It is watertight as advertised and provides easy access to the bilge. Much easier than reaching in from the top!

I think I'm going that route as well. What size did you end up using? Post some pics of yours if you get a chance. Thanks.

I used their smallest one, required a 6.75" hole. Just barely able to move my jigsaw around. I should be able to get a pic later. Also I do think this plate would fit in the splashwell, if the old hole was glassed up. But would be tricky to cut a hole there.

Thanks! I'm going to take the plate off to check the pump and clean the bilge out then reseal, hopefully, for good! I bought a 6" screw-in access cover yesterday that will soon be installed in the baitwell. I think I have the sickness. I went from "all original with no mod plans" to "why is my mod list getting so long". I truly love this disease! Just hope my wallet can keep up! Hope all have a great weekend!

Hopefully I can get a few more things done this week and get the lid off of the livewell (5200 is not fun to break when you cant run wire through it). I want to remove the whole thing. I dont like digging for bait in a floor and will eventually install a small one under the leaning post.

Looking good! I'll be starting on mine this weekend. (Hope I don't find any gators!
