Kookman Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 Hello, new to the forum, been restoring a 99 Master Angler, working on some finishing touches, was wonder what are some options for the drain holes for the front hatches. Previous owner just has some pvc which is not working for me. looking for some options? Jim Hampstead NC
Wanaflatsfish Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 check the size you can get brass inserts at West Marine... dc
Flireman Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 I have same exact boat. The pvc sleeves from factory still are fine. Those two compartments on my boat are bone dry so I insert a brass with rubber expansion plug. Completely seals it if I need to wash or drain just take them out. They are inserted from inside compartments so you never see them.
whichwaysup Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 Odd, mine doesnt have those at all! Btw, great to hear you have a MA in Hampstead, I am just south of you in Wilmington and just wrapping up a restoration of my 18 MA. What size is your 99?

Jim Georgetown, SC April 4th Carroll Ashmore Campbell Marine Complex (Hwy 17 at Sampit River Bridge) Carroll Ashmore Campbell Marine Complex Click for Georgetown Navionics map Beaufort, SC August 22nd Downtown Marina Downtown Marina Hey Jim - I've been down a boat for 2 years (very significant repairs - see the general thread sticky's for the build thread), so I haven't been out as much as I plan to soon. I'm hearing the trout are showing up in good numbers, and water temps are still pretty high - a good omen! I may sneak out Friday a.m. for a dawn patrol and see if I can find some with a buddy who's been keeping me fishing. Judging from your screen name, you must be a surfer as well, which is what I've been doing with my boatless free time. Post up some pics of your MA - would love to see her! I am confused by those drains though - my 18 MA is a 2000 and, unless I'm crazy, I don't think I have those at all.
Kookman Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Posted October 30, 2019 Kookman is childhood nickname close to my last name, nothing to do with surfing but i have attempted occasionally. I will look at your repair threads to check it out. Jim
