Actually, I have 8 holes below the waterline, I forgot to include the prop shaft, which incidently, leaked enough this year to cause me to curtail my summer cruise by a month. Back in my home marina it only needed tightening that big nut at the stuffing box but I didn't have such a large-mouthed tool on board. I do now.
Yes Frank, the cockpit drains on the T500 give me reason to worry too, even though I have changed the sivered plastic bathroom fittings (incredible cost-cutting by Trapper)in the cockpit sole :-). I have already scheduled a complete renovation of them and have cut out a section of the liner on the inboard side of the quarter berth for access to the port seacock - a severe design fault that before it was, for all practical purposes, quite inaccessible. I have almost finished one of my winter jobs - to build the hatch cover for the 50cm x 30cm access hole that I have cut.
My winters would be very boring without the Trapper to keep improving - all the cheap and nasty things that have to be replaced. But then again, even you with your shiny new Superseal has to build in a bilge around the log. Buy a boat and there's always something.
Best,
Brian.
