idea. However the law doesn’t ban transporting water in boats, it
bans transporting “water from infested waters”. I have always
been under the belief that the liquids collected in our bilge are in fact
rainwater and spilled beer. Our cockpit scuppers do take in lake water from
time to time, but I don’t think this can get to the bilge. Do you
guys think you’re getting lake water in the bilge?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There are 2 blind sumps in all Capri's. Consensus
drilled 2 holes, one on each side of the keel with a hole saw. Under the
cabin sole there is an air gap, a layer of plywood and another air gap.
You need to drill through to the second air gap. All are welcome to
look a Consensus. Smitten also has these holes. <o:p></o:p></p>

Dallas and the WYC board want to be seen to be out-in-front of this
issue. Maybe you can raise it quickly with the technical committee, get
some photos of the modification he recommends, and then get it up online.

color:#003333">I met with the DNR this morning regarding the imminent Zebra
invasion and one thing we've learned about Zebra's is that it's critical for
all boaters to ensure their boats do not have standing water in the boat when
leaving the lake.This allows the boat to dry completely and kill zebras. Yes, I
know your boat will freeze over in the winter to kill zebras, but the law is to
not transport any water in boats on the road. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";
color:#003333">Capri's are unique to in that water can be trapped in the bilge
under the floor pan. There is no accessible access from which to pump out water
from a Capri bilge. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#003333">My Capri had a $10 access port under the wooden floorboard
(which we had removed for racing). Honestly, any self respecting racer should
have an access port to pump/mop water out of the bilge so the boat is not
heavy, the keel brace doesn't rot, and now to eliminate standing water where
Zebras might be transported. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";
color:#003333">My recommendation is that the fleet consider how to best
implement access ports in your bilges, and then make it a rule in the fleet
rules to require installation. Zebras might seem like a little deal now,
but this will change significantly in just a few years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
