I assume it's not illegal to install a drain plug low on the transom.
BTW, Anybody know history behind putting it by the gunwale instead of the transom?
and visualize the tub and storage compartment in between those foam supports.
just for all of y'alls 'fyi' information - having cut out and repaired the hull under the footwell - theres a couple inches between the bottom of the footwell and the hull - plenty of space for the water to flow unobstructed. its the center stern foam block that would be the only obstruction. i've considered a drainplug in the transom off to one side, but never seem to get around to it - i just sponge out the water from my inspection port behind the splashguard.
Thanks for that info.
On my 2005 hull, the cockpit is in immediate contact with the hull.
I watched a newer Sunfish empty at least a gallon of water from a transom drain plug, so I was determined to install one."...I've considered a drainplug in the transom off to one side, but never seem to get around to it - i just sponge out the water from my inspection port behind the splashguard..."

Just blow into the hull then tape over the plug hole. Use soap bubble mix over the mast it will confirm if the mast is the problem. Tape the bottom of the centerboard trunk then use the soap mix over the centerboard top. Check the boat edge seams and around the bailer.
