Well......,

On my Dauntless 15 the bilge access is really crowded and a pain in the hand to get into. I use a flip handle plug and install it from the outside with the handle flipped to the rear. So far, so good in the last 2 years, don't even have any weeds on it when drifting the skinny. For the first few months I owned the boat I ran it with no plug at all and the only problem was getting some water in the stern with 3 people back there, so if the plug falls out, no big deal.....Whalers are sink proof!
