Dan, Instead of wooden plugs, I use two rubber stoppers for the two scuppers on my M-17. After determining the correct size, I drilled a hole in the center, put a stainless 'fender washer' on either side, then ran a stainless bolt ( or screw) through the assembly, then used a stainless wing nut to hold it together. Just stick them in the holes and tighten the wing nuts. All these items are available at your local Ace Hardware . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Langer" <farreach@optonline.net> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 9:47 AM Subject: M_Boats: Wooden Plugs for Cockpit
No problem Dan, just take your shoes off. As long as it doesn't get over the cockpit seats you should be ok.
Seriously, it's not a problem, just make sure the scupper is clean so it drains properly. It's a good reminder to "Check the drain" when you notice the water coming in and it should be reassuring to see it drain.

What size wooden plugs are used to stop water entering the M-15 when under way. Took the M-15 #478 for my first sail on Big Bear Lake last weekend. Quite a bit of water accumulated on the cockpit sole, particularly when heeled over on either tack. Dan
