    Drain and Starter

    I have two questions. 1, what is the hole in the picture attached. Its at the back of the boat where the drain is. 2, my starter recently bent and jammed on the fly wheel. Is this not uncommon or is something out of alignment. Never happened before.

    Hitting the water

    I have a 1988 Baylinrr Capri. No cracks or damage to hull at all. Quick questions. When driving fast on the ocean, sometimes I'll slam back down on the water pretty hard. Does anyone know how much pounding the hull can take. Is that hard pounding bad or can they take a lot?
