The other day we were fishing with some pretty big shrimp. The plug on the live well wasn't seated all the way and when we trailered the boat a bunch of shrimp flew down the drain on to the launch. I thought about what would have happened had one gotten stuck in the drain. Maybe could have hosed it out but the idea also occurred to put some screen in front of it. Also, the bucket holder on the swim deck drains to the bilge. But if you drop something in there accidentally and it's big enough to go down the drain, you gotta lift out the whole bucket holder. So, I put some 4200 sealant around the edges of some cut out screen and both worries are a thing of the past! Just a tip!
