How many removable drain plugs?

[MikDee]

A friend of my son was out with him on his boat, a 1989 19' Bayliner bowrider and mentioned there must be more then one main drain plug? could this be true? are there any other drain plugs somewhere in the floor, or bottom, of this boat? that he needs to take out to drain any other water, that might be trapped in the boat? I've had other brand boats myself that had extra drain plugs in the floor, that needed to be taken out occasionally to drain the hull completely. Does anyone here know?

Nobody knows if there's hidden, or out of the way drain plugs in the hull of these boats? I want to make sure I've gotten any hidden,, or possible captured water out of the hull.

I have an 89 19' Capri with a Force 125 just like your son's and it only has one drain and that is at the bottom of the transom.

Thanks EW1, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something, my old Well craft Airslot had about 3 compartments in the hull floor with removable rubber pop off style drain plugs. By the way, what's normal top speed on your boat?

It helps, Mikdee, to put your questions in the correct forum. Going to Boats.

some boats have the well at the transon, where the compartments come together. and they have those small stoppers. but for thru hull most just have the center stern. some fishing boats have the live wells that have to be drained. i have 3 in my stern, but that because i took out the livewell pump and drain.

Yes just one, I have the same boat/motor/year also. all of the underseat storage and the center "ski" storage have pass through tubes, but no plugs in them.

I got 43 mph last season with one bad cylinder, I havn't pushed the throttle full yet, just broke the rebuild in last weekend, I can let you know after the 4th of July.
