Dan, Instead of wooden plugs, I use two rubber stoppers for the two scuppers on my M-17. After determining the correct size, I drilled a hole in the center, put a stainless 'fender washer' on either side, then ran a stainless bolt ( or screw) through the assembly, then used a stainless wing nut to hold it together. Just stick them in the holes and tighten the wing nuts. All these items are available at your local Ace Hardware . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Langer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 9:47 AM Subject: M_Boats: Wooden Plugs for Cockpit
