[QUOTE="silentbravo, post: 483744, member: 29669"] Glad you are finding some helpful info KrazyAboutTin. I will take a look at my boat and see what those holes look like. It's probably a better idea to keep them open and rinse the salt out, rather than try to block them off. It would only take a small leak to get the saltwater trapped inside, then you couldn't flush it, and/or might not know there's a problem in there. I guess it depends on your use also. It may be worth putting a small hole at the back side of boat, through the rib only, to aid flushing water through it. [/QUOTE]
