Again thanks to all reply's. I called C-dory yesterday, and they told me the plug fwd, and under the porti poti was probably from shooting in the floatation when the boat was made, and would hold very little if any water, also tomorrow a canvas shop is comming over to measure for a slant/back...

C-Green & ferret30 thanks. ferret30 how is that plug removed? Maybe just pop's out with a screwdriver or something, then I guess you use a flashlight to inspect. If there is water in the void, removal would be a trick, unless I can find a pump with a 1inch suction hose or smaller. Also you are...

I purchased a 2004, 22ft sport cruiser. It has been kept on a trailer, but this year we decided to keep it in a Marina. It has been in the water 3 days, and we are getting a very good rain. This boat sits bow down do do the Anchor chain weight, so I removed it, and now it rides level, and fills...
