I am thinking of putting a drain plug in my wheelboy.

i swim a lot and spend ages getting the water out.

anyone know a good position? how many inches from the back etc?

As far back as you can put it, this will get more of the water out.

im worried if i go too far back there may be no cavity behind my drill hole. how much of the back is sold plastic?

Sandie,

I just measured the position of ther drainplug in my Wheelboy, the distance is ~2 1/4 " (60mm) from the end of the boat to the center of the plug.I offset the plug to the side of the boat it is just on the inside of the crease.
The plastic is really thick in this area, well obver 1/4 ". To avoid drilling too deep and in to the bottom I recommend sticking a piece of sheetmetal in the end of the boaqt before you start to drill.
