I took my in-line check valves out on my 22PF and installed a shut off valve I got at a plumping supply I then added the raybuds...problem solved...water flowed and if you had a lot of weight on the stern when reef fishing while standing, I would just shut the valves and it worked fine....NOTE: THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE !!!! BUT, I PAID ATTENTION. IF YOU FORGET TO OPEN THE VALVES - THE COCKPIT WILL FILL WITH WATER IF YOU FORGET AND LEAVE IT IN THE WATER OVERNIGHT AND IT RAINS....FOR MY PREVIOUS STYLE OF FISHING - I USED TO YELLOWTAIL WITH 100 LBS OF CHUM ON BOARD, IT WAS A REQUIREMENT, AS WE'D STAND ON THE STERN WITH A LIVE WELL FULL OF BALLYHOO OR OTHER BAITS.....AND I'D USE THE REAR HATCH TO ICE DOWN THE TAILS....WE'D COME BACK WITH OUR LIMITS ON MOST TRIPS...THE BOAT WAS FULL OF OATMEAL, CHUM AND OTHER CRAP THAT WOULD FILL THE DRAINS. THE RAYBUDS ARE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL STOP THE INTRUSION....NON OEM CHECKVALVES ARE AVAILABLE AS WELL AT A HIGH QUALITY PLUMBING SUPPLY.

budwagon1274 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Probably won’t go the route of the valves because odds are I will forget, not too concerned with water coming back in the boat it does that already, As long as it’s not too outrageous.I do reef fish from time to time so I am use to standing in water. I was debating putting the ray buds on they seem to get good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth move Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 i just carry a pair of 1 1/2" plumbers plugs with one side of the flange cut off, to fit in the drain hole. if we start having a water problem with too much weight in the stern, i pop em in. i always remember to take em out when washing down,cause boat holds water.
