Let's get limber

Article Abstract:

The limber holes in boats should be kept dry at all times to prevent water from filling up the boat. They should be safeguarded from bilge debris to prevent the pump strainer from being clogged. Larger-sized and resin or gel coated holes should be preferred when buying boats.
