Looking at putting a garboard on my 35 mark 3. Has anyone done this? Looking at
leaving my mast up but concerned about water entering the boat through the mast.

it seems the topic of garboard drains came up quite extensively 3-4 years
ago. I would like to find that thread but when I go to "Archives" in

Nate, I installed a drain last year. I used magnets too and drilled from
outside. I also used a door drill kit and a drummel tool and installed the
drain flush with the hull and faired it with epoxy. If you need pics or more
information pm me. You can buy flush nylon plugs by sea dog? and don’t

I drilled for garboard drain last fall. I will install perko drain in spring.

The way I have to look at it is based on being on the hard from October to May.
If I was in the water like Josh 11/12 months or Bob 12/12, I wouldn’t even look
at it. It wouldn’t make sense to me either and simply is not required. If you

Yes, I agree with Josh—one more hole that could let water into the boat. No
way I would do this in my boat!

Our bilge is shallow but not as shallow as a KCB model. I would install it low
in the keel stub. It would be best as low as you can and mine may be 1/4-1/2

the bilge whenever it was above freezing but that was difficu
