Dingy drainage....

[Dave_Seager]

My Walker Bay 8 already has a conventional dinghy bung fitted. It has a built in non return valve in case you forget to put the plug in as well. However, looking a photographs on-line it appears that some have them and some do not.
The only problem is that it is not at the lowest point of the transom due to the wheel fitting so it leaves a little water in the hollow keel section. If you have a Walker Bay dinghy with no drain plug it would be very easy to fit one.

As described and illustrated in #11 above !

Thanks all of you. I'm going to go on the WB site and order one.... As always on here, great input, thanks again.!

Small self tappers and some epoxy should be fine. 5mm is a good thickness ... thicker that the panels of my Mirror which have drain fittings in them.

Cheers Vic. :encouragement:
