There is a 3/4" "plug" at the rear of the tank which if I pull it when I am running, will gravity drain the tank. If I pull it when I am at the dock it fills about 6" with water It is a pain to get to the plug when there is a lot of fish/ice in there, and even harder to put it back in.

A friend who has a similar boat had J&J put one in a few years ago. They tried a couple things before they settled on a fiberglass tube at an angle that is at the base and goes to a pump. So I was thinking along similar lines.

The other thing I was thinking was putting in a small flat bottom right near the "apex" of the current bottom that is raised at one or (either) end so I could put in a proper flanged fitting at 90 deg and the water would gravity feed into it. This however would probably be best but would have to wait till next winter before I tackle that.

Still head scratching....
