Thanks for the offer! I'm not sure which method would be better. Create a box and go to town or ebb's method of using the actual well to create the plug. By the way I think it's worth asking Does anyone have a plug that I can buy? Also, I am wondering if my deep shaft outboard will fit in the stern locker when the plug is in and/or where do you put the outboard when using it? I know I can find out when I unwrap the boat but just wondering what people do with their outboard when using the plug if it doesn't fit. Seems like it wont.
