Eastport Prim drain plug or access 4 in hatch access cover

Submitted by NickL - Sat, 6/23/18 » 8:27 AM

I noticed on Eastport prim drawings a drain plug is posted under the seats. I am also thinging about intalling hatch access cover. At least with the hatch cover, under the seat, it can be wiped with a sponge and air out. I just got started on my prim and any thoughts is appreciated. Access hatch cover or drain plug?

I put a drain plug in my EP, but it didn't allow any air to circulate, so if I did it again, I'd install an inspection plate in the vertical surfaces of each buoyancy tank. This is what I'm doing with my PM. Plus, you can always reach in there with a sponge if needed.

Thanks for the response, CapitanSkully. I believe with hatch access cover, I see no need for drain plug. Access to under the seats can also be used for small items storage. Thanks again.
