I was given a 9’ bass boat that was sitting upside down in a yard for 3 years.    Power washed everything, checked for cracks and such and besides having to re-attach the 3 lids and replace the  O-hooks on each end it’s in decent shape.     My question is I have 3 drain holes = 1 each front and back and 1 in what I believe would be live well.     Been getting conflicted stories ….do I need to plug them or not?

The only one’s you should need to plug in that boat is any in the floor of the boat. The live well plugs should just drain the wells and only fill to water level if you pull the plug on the water.

No I’ve a if this will help but… My Bass Raiders have 1 lower on each pontoon used to drain the same if one gets water in the pontoons, those I plug. The third is the scupper hole that is above water level to drain the floor between the pontoons, that one is left open. It’d help if you showed the location of the plugs on yours. I don’t have live wells. If

Plug them all.. at least you will know exactly where the plugs are.

Thank you .    I ordered 3 to be safe
