I am looking for a way to drain my pontoons on my 1992 suntracker 24 ft. party barge.
I can see 2 red plastic pipe plugs on top of each pontoon my idea is to remove these plugs and pump out any water
that maybe in either pontoon, I am not having ANY issues with water in the pontoons but do to the age of the boat I would like the have acesss to drain or pump them out as the boat sits in the lake from early spring to fall. I was also thinking of drilling a 3/4 inch hole in top of the stern end of the pontoon and pumping out from this hole then installing a standard drain plug in the drilled holes .
My questions are. What are the holes with the plastic pipe plugs on top of the pontoons really for ?
Will drilling a hole on the top side of the pontoon change structural integrity oF the pontoon ?
will I need to drill holes in bow and stern ends or does water pass thru baffles and make it to the rear of the toons if the bow is tipped up?
