I assume you are doing this to keep your feet dry. What I do is shove a microfiber rag in the drain hole to keep peoples feet dry, if it's calm conditions and zero chance of boarding waves. If it's rough, I'm getting wet anyways and don't worry about it and/or wear rubber boots.

Have any of you skippers installed teak grading on M15?

Was it made from a kit?

Has it worked out for you?

Thanks

Unless the cockpit grating is fastened to the boat somehow, if you had a knockdown or even close to it the whole assembly could go flying...including the fuel jug... cheers, John On 7/29/22 17:28, Jim Sadler wrote:
