Re: 23's Front hatch drain holes.....
eBEACH, i BLANKED OFF AND FILLED THE SCUPS WITH WEST SYSTEM YESTERDAY. i PLAN ON LETTING IT DRY A COUPLE OF MORE DAYS AND THEN DRILL IT OUT.Sorry for the caps. craig
Update-I took a peak today when I got home, seems the west did fine on the outside of the boat but on the inside the west expanded up into the recessed well area. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] So hopefully it wont be too awful hard to sand off after I drill it out. I actually think its going to work out pretty good.

Steve's had that problem because nobody SEALED it. Once sealed it was fine [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 23's Front hatch drain holes.....
This may sound a little weird...but, I'm thinking of connecting the foward two boxes on one drain line to the aft box and put a auto bilge pump in it. On my boat (23 CC twin i/o) the aft box is almost worthless anyway, it's only about 10"x18" and it does sit lower than the foward two.
I don't think any of those boxes could drain properly above the waterline. What do you guys think?

Re: 23's Front hatch drain holes.....
Finster, not sure I follow you exactly but be careful that you will be able to access/clean out that drain hose connecting those 2 boxes. One rockfish scale seems to be the perfect size to clog mine and it gets annoying trying to keep them clear after awhile.

Re: 23's Front hatch drain holes.....
My friend gave me a great idea today. Running the fish box drain directly to a masorating pump, that pumps it straight out of the boat. I think I like it!

Re: 23's Front hatch drain holes.....
How about sections of large diameter hose with a quick release fitting [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] - You can drain your compartments then clean the boat [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ...
Are you going to trailer or slip it?

Sorry i know this is an old thread but wondering about similar thing. i have a classic 23 and wondering if that hatch under the casting platform is insulated. not sure if it is designed for a fish box or not. mine also has a through hull thats just on the water line. Never get water in but hoping to use as a fishbox as not much room for a big cooler (for big fish). front hatch would be nice and can wash out and it drain straight out of the boat.
