Why do most smaller personal boats have holes that you need to plug before going in water?
I assume since we don’t permanently plug them since water inevitably gets in during operation that needs to be drained. Where does that water come from? Why is it designed that way?
In theory, if a boat that has removable is in water long enough without coming out to drain, would the boat sink because of the water that came in during use?
In: Engineering
You’re in a vehicle with a giant opening on top. Water splashes, people get wet and get in the boat, anything can happen. That hole is far more effective at draining the water than turning the boat over and draining it that way, which is how you clear water from a canoe, kayak, or another small boat you can pickup easily.
