Limber Holes

These are the holes that drain any water to the bilge sump area. Make sure that they are clear so that the water flow is not impeded. A good trick is to thread one piece of cord through with a knot just forward of each hole. Join the forward end to a short piece of shock cord and attach this to the hull. On the other end tie a loop and when you need to clear the holes one or two pulls on the loop end will clear all at once. This can be left in place permanently.
