Hellow all
Just tearing out the old deck on my 1969 Larson All American 166 and found that the open bilge has a drain port but only drains into a cavity around the Bilge Pan there is no way for it to drain into the pan the bilge pan itself is a sealed cavity except for the pan drain water can build up in the open bilge and never get into the bilge pan is this a builder mistake or is there a real reason for this replacing deck and stringers any ideas should I install adrain for the open bilge:confused:

That's what I thought can't understand why no drain must have been forgotten
