Default Plastic cover for anchor locker drain

I'm a newbie to fountains and I recently ripped off the plastic cover that goes over the drain hole for the anchor locker while loading my boat onto my trailer. How hard to it be to replace it? Has this every happened to any of you? Kind of seems to be in a bad spot doesn't it?

Part should be pretty easy, try looking at West Marine. Should be a common item. Not dead positive on the R&R, but should be a nylon nut inside of it in the anchor locker. Would use some sealer when installing new one. Fountain could supply but I think aftermarket would be less fuss.

I would adjust the bow stop so it clears the drain going on and off if you can.

You can buy it from Fountain for under $5 (if I remember right). There is no nut on the backside. They just get installed with either 5200 or 4200. That style bow stop presents problems for Fountains - it looks significantly mis-positioned or possibly not the correct bow stop based on the the photo and considering where the chain is attached to the eye.

Can you show us a picture of how the boat is sitting on the bunks in the back?

What kind of trailer is that?

Sure! The trailer was made by Manning Marine. I talked to Pam up there and she told me this trailer was made for a 29ft Fountain Fever.

I just looked at my 32 on a Myco and it is not even close to the drain, yours seems like it will be hard not to keep breaking it.

Lower the bow stop (cow catcher ) and move it forward,,,you might need to get a longer chain then..

Nice rig! Do you use a strap to tighten the nose down so it doesn't bounce on the front pads when trailering?
