Yup, upon closer look, I see how the cockpit floor actually slopes downward under the board which tops the hole. Great idea! Boy, I notice something good about this little boat nearly daily. Thanks, Jeff+ On Mar 13, 2012 5:46 PM, "Hughston, Larry@DGS" <Larry.Hughston@dgs.ca.gov> wrote:
If your monty is conventional there is room to stuff and compress a stainless steel scrubber on both sides. Mine works and it stays in. Larry

Larry,
Do you mean to stuff a bit of the scrubbing pad into the lanyard hole as a filter? Doesn't seem to be lost of room to spare there with the line down through the hole.

Hi Larry,
What a great idea.

Consider using stainless steel kitchen scrubbing pads. No rust and they filter small bits of debris that could eventually scratch and jamb the CB.

Jeff...the cockpit on the 15 drains just fine thru the centerboard rope hole.

Upon closer eye-balling of my "new" (1981 #176) Monty 15, I find no cockpit scuppers. I cannot believe that this could be a design flaw (not typical of Jerry), but am a bit concerned about blue water soaking my feet (or worse).
Ought I worry about this and retro-fit scuppers in the cockpit?
If so, have others done this job and is there any type of "how-to" guide out there in Monty Land?
Many thanks in advance.......
