I'm trying to install a Kodiak bait tank and I'm seeking advice on whether to put side thruholes or build some type of custom stand to allow for the drain hose. Is this something I can do on my own or do I need professional help ???
You don't have any info on your C-Dory? What model and does it have a swim step? Folks down here have mounted a small Kodiak on the swim step of a C-22. Others modified the port lazarette and used it as a nice bait tank. But to answer at least one question . . . I don't think you'll need professional help unless you're not a DIY guy like - well - never mind.
