OK, I know this whole thing is getting to the point of making your hair hurt, BUT - here goes...

The garboard is the first plank adjacent to the keel.  So a garboard plug/drain can only be one in the bottom of the hull next to the keel.   :thumleft:

A drain or plug in the transom is - have you guessed it - a transom drain or plug!   :cheers:

I ran into someone recently that said they put a garboard plug in their livewell - I thought "OK, but that's a strange place to put a livewell..."   :scratch:  But then, that near-useless livewell in the back of CCPs is almost low enough in the hull to have a garboard drain.   :tongue:

See ya on the water!

Would that be athrwartships?

Athwartships is something that runs perpendicular to the centerline or keel, so the transom would be athwartships, but the garboard runs parallel to the keel, so it would not...

Yeah, but here, we have fun with that stuff!  Over there, it would turn into an 8 page pissing match with 3 members getting sent to a time out... :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Wart's a member here - hasn't visited in a while though.  Has a lot of experience to share.

Bobby knows his chit, that is for certain.  Him and I just don't see eye to eye on other matters, though...

Imagine that! :shock:  :shock:

Orcas (now owned by Southco) did the original, now there are a bunch of knock-offs.  I know Attwood has one...
