Is that the proper thing to do if your boat has sprung a leak and the water seeps in and you want to drain the water out, so you put another hole elsewhere in the boat for the water to drain out. This is when you are out on the lake fishing.

It doesn't work that way, but let me know if you do try it. My company specializes in recovering small craft and salvage and I'm always up for a wreck dive, no matter the size of the vessel. :)

counting on how lots water has leaked in and absorbed into the froth in the hull getting the water out would fee extra in time and funds than its worth. Your superb guess is to strengthen the boat untill the hollow is at a a ways better factor that way the water won't seep in direction of the hollow. attempt yet another fiberglass patch then.

Nope. It will take in more water. but there is device, actually a hole oriented at a certain angle, that drains water off the motor boat if it is running.

Actually it only works if you put 7 holes in the bottom and they HAVE to be in a semi circle toward the rear of the boat because thats usually the heaviest area

ok no, as your boat takes on water the water level inside the boat is at the same height as outside. and, becaus eif you wanted to drain a boat of water the hole would have to be below the water level- in this case you would just end up taking on more water.
even if my answer is wrong, please dont try to find out for yourself.

No more water will seep in. Best to plug the hole and bail out the water

Try this with an old plastic bowl. Once there is a hole, the water keeps coming in. With two holes, water comes in more quickly.

only if you pump out the extra water pressure and drain the leak off the boat. Get on it, you got it, Fox.

Only if the part of the boat wich you knock the new hole in is on land, dude!

Well, at first this sounds stupid and still could be,but, I think if you put a hole a little higher above the water level it may keep you from sinking. Wouldnt have thought of it but, could work, I guess. LOL
