Drain plug for ski locker
I'm considering installing a drain plug to the drain of my ski locker along with a seperate bilge for that area. I'm hoping that by doing so, that area will stay a bit dryer or at least cleaner. I need to know what size that is, where to find such an item, and has anyone else done this to their boat. My boat is a 2004 LSV.

1 1/4, get a test plug from the local hardware store with a wing nut.

I am not quite sure what you are trying to do. Are you wanting to install another thru-hull drain plug? If so, I am not sure the one from ACE will do the trick. I have a DD so my bilge drain is under the engine in my boat. I wanted to get a spare plug "just in case" for it. I picked up a factory style Perko one from the local Mastercraft dealer. As a side note, he wouldn't sell me just the T handle plug, I had to buy both pieces. It wasn't cheap either, I think it was around $40.

I think he's just talking about the hole that leads from the ski locker back to the bilge area on a v-drive. No thru-hull in this case. The ski locker gets slimy for some reason, guessing it's from bilge backwash.
I'll be interested to see if this plug works out. I don't think I'd mess with another pump, instead just pull the plug occasionaly and let any water drain back to the stock bilge.
