Getting Rid of Water on Deck of 18

[makade]

I do the same thing with the drain plugs as UncleBoo. Here's some pictures of my setup. I have a piece of angle to stiffen the starboard on the bottom, otherwise I wouldn't have a good seal.

The only thing I don't like is its hard to rinse the trash out of the gutter along the back.

I'll take a pic of what somebody did on my transom in a bit - the put 5" pieces of starboard either side of the motor - mine are embedded into the top of the transom but you could do something simlar - I get very little water over the transom into the splahwell from waves anyway

I made a short splash board and hinged it to allow it to lay flat on the deck. I let the extreme ends open to allow the deck to drain out. I am thinking I made a mistake in not putting it flush to the sides on the bottom and putting plugs like you have done. A PO put some holes in the deck to drain into the bilge, but they have been filled with 5200. I am thinking of drilling those out and plugging/unplugging when needed and also putting an auto (float) pump in the splash well to empty when the ping pongs are closed and the well is full.
