Hi everyone-
I have a 2005 Potter 15 and previously had owned a 1987 Potter 15. The new one has a hole above the grain plug for the bilge. This hole doesn't have a plug and sits below the water line so a fair amount of water gets in and is visible within the cabin. I experimented with duct tape and that kept out the water so I need a plug. Can anyone tell me what the name of the hole is and where I can buy a plug for it? If it matters, I believe this boat has the Blue Water layup...
Cheers,
Steve
The hole above the drain plug is for the cockpit drain if I've understood your question correctly. A 2005 P-15 should have a drain hole/fitting in the cockpit sole that connects via hose to a fitting in the hole you have described. There should be an access port in the rear of the cockpit through which you can see/repair/replace these items. Water is not supposed to enter the boat through that hole. This is a different setup than the cockpit drain on your '87 - that boat had a short plastic tube that passed through the back of the cockpit directly through the transom.
Thanks DaveK, I do have the access port and I looked but only briefly. I will look again. I noticed the drain in the cockpit had held water, after I had drained the bilge so something is amiss. Your reply is much appreciated!
