I will certainly do that.

Should I put the plug on the outside of the transom?

Or put the plug where this sump is?

Follow up: the power-pole mini did not work well for me with the transom clamps. A regular fiberglass stick has been working great with a rope.

Okay. Great. Thanks.

I am sure to have water [collecting in the areas shown in Figures 1 and 2] is normal, but it is frustrating.

What is this area called?




Is there any way to [stop water from collecting in the unnamed areas shown]?

Thanks

Got her back- here is how it looks now!

I have chosen a Micropole that clamps on the back transom. I will update the forum as I customize the boat. I think anglers on the forum will find the results interesting. This is an original Texas boat that loves to fish.

Give me suggestions [for a powered anchor of the type called a shallow water anchor and later clarified to use in water about two-feet to five-feet deep and suitable] for a 170 Montauk [later clarified to be a classic MONTAUK 17].

Jim,
Thank you so much for all the advice. After reading through this and not having a good way to get it Do nedo it properly I took it to a Boston whaler specialist. I will send pictures when it’s done you guys are admirable

Phil thanks! Ordering now.

I recently bought a 1989 Montauk 17 with big scars on the keel. IMG_9639a.jpg IMG_9640a.jpg Is repair a do-it-yourself project? Or, should I take the boat to a professional for repair? I hope no water has seeped in over the years. Other [than the damage to the keel the boat] is looking great. Thanks...
