Hunter 216 - Drain Plugs

[Sea Scout Ship 459]

Our Sea Scout (Boy Scouts) Ship has just gotten a 2005 Hunter 216.
The manual mentions drain plugs.
Did not see a note as to where they are located and the old owner was not aware of them.
Where are they located?

They are generally black style caps on the back of the transom near water level for the sole purpose to allow water to come out from the interior of a boat generally found on daysailors where you cannot access the hull for one reason or another. In the case of the 216, it has a cabin with the back accessible to the back plus the cockpit is self draining. I do not think you have any on the 216 from my recollection as a former hunter dealer.

Plugs ??

Thanks Crazy Dave !
I had looked for them and did not see anything but I did not crawl to the back on the boat under the deck.
