Good Day to all, this may sound crazy to some but here goes. I just purchased a new AlumaCraft 14-36. Upon gazing with wonder upon my purchase I noticed the water drain, located at the base of the transom, was in the center of 3 depressed areas, rib's made for strength and provide drainage I suppose. Well, this Bugs me, as there are no drain holes provided on either side in the other 2 "ribs". this requires the water to reach a depth of several inches on either side before any would flow into the center rib. With several drain plugs that are " one way " with respect to water flow on the market would I be silly to drill out and install said one-way plugs in the bottom? Thanks, Ron
