Elephant drain water outlet in port transom, secured with running line inboard.

Main bung in centre transom. Attached via lanyard; allowing it to be easily located

each time the boat is launched. The boat is always stowed at a raised angle on the

trailer, to allow free exit of rainwater through bung.Seating/ Console configuration:
