Harbor Freight sells a 90 degree attachment to drill holes like that. Cost $10.
Option A: I remember drilling a few small ones, maybe 3/4" and epoxied the opening with clear neat West System, and mixed up epoxy and filler into a peanut butter consistancy, and slathered that inside the opening, then inserted the tube of plastic sheeting like 10 mil and pushed that from the inside with a finger, and stuck a dowel (or a carrot works fine and come in infinite sizes) inside and left it to harden over night. Remove plastic sheeting, fill any voids, and sand rough edges. The epoxy becomes a very strong waterproof tube by itself. Option B: Drill a bigger hole, fill completely with epoxy and redrill with a smaller bit.

Has anyone else drilled we ones? Not much space for a drill! What type of tubing did you use? Joel 35/3 Annapolis On Thursday, December 20, 2012, Gary Nylander wrote: I guess they had other ideas. My 30-1 has a dinette on the port side. Under the forward seat, there was apparently a limber hole allowing any water from this area to go to the bilge - but it may only be there for running some electrical wires, as the junction block for mast wiring is under the seat - and there is a bilge pump in the sump adjacent. I drilled another hole to allow for drainage, as this is where my speed transducer is located and water comes in when I pull the transducer for cleaning. Under the aft seat, there is nothing. I tried to drill a hole for drainage, but there is a little box under the end of the seat which has been used to store flares, the horn, bilge pump handle for the cockpit pump, and some other stuff. I couldn't get the angle right to pass under this box without scaring myself about drilling through the bottom of the boat! So, any time there is water in the area (leaky windows - spills, etc.) the sponge comes out. I think it is fascinating how different the various boats are - still designed and built by the same team. The bilge of the 29 is quite different from the 30....

Great job refinishing the cabin sole by the way. I did that to mine, but it didn't look near as nice as yours. The thing I wanted to bring to you attention is that when you look at the picture with the floorboards off so that you see the bilge, you will notice that there is a limber hole through the fiberglass stringer on the starboard side of the mast but there isn't one on the port side. I don't know about you, but the water frequently came down the mast and into the mast box but would spill over the sides and go into that void on the port side of the mast. Since there is no way for that to drain it would overfill and begin to soak into the bottom of the port bulkhead. I remedies this by drilling a limber hole on the port side and epoxying in a tube for the water to drain into the main sump. Solved the issue. I could never understand why C&C didn't put a limber hole on that side when they built the boat.
