I drilled for garboard drain last fall. I will install perko drain in spring.
I used 2 earth magnets to locate where to drill...one low inside bilge taped
where I wanted the drain, then just moved the other on outside of keel stub
until it "located" it's mate and voila, knew exactly where to dr
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
have ever checked on your boat and found water just under

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
inch off the bottom and it works fine. I would normally vacuum and sponge out
the bilge whenever it was above freezing but that was difficu

Magnets worked perfectly to locate the hole and drill from outside. Thanks for
the suggestion Eric! It is mounted in the bottom of the bilge flush with the
keel stub and looks great. Len

A friend does exactly this on his C&C 35 Mk.1 and has been doing it for years.
Works well.

Even with a garboard drain hole it is impossible to keep the bilge in my 35
MKII completely dry unless I use a sponge to sop up water in the
depressions between the athwartship glass belts that provide added strength
where the keel bolts exit into the bilge. There are no limber holes to
allow water
I used this Magnets technique to install a garboard drain on my 35 Mk2 with
great success 3 years ago. Can’t remember who suggested it on this list serve
but it works very well. Moving the magnets around, I found the lowest place in

Has anyone with a 37/40 installed a bilge drain for winter? I am interested in
knowing the thickness of the keel stub before I start drilling. It looks like
it’s about one inch but its really hard to tell. The bilge is deep and maybe
3-4 inches wide so a pilot hole is going to be a significant c
