Garboard Drain w/Plug
The Concept
Once your boat is in its cradle, sling, lift, or trailer, draining the bilge is easy with a garboard drain. All models install from the outside. TD-500 allows draining from outside by removing the square-drive plug.
The GROCO Garboard Drain with Plug, part number TD-500, is designed for efficient bilge drainage when a boat is out of the water. This component is suitable for marine maintenance operations, allowing for the removal of bilge water when the vessel is secured in a cradle, sling, lift, or on a trailer. It addresses the practical need for external bilge access and drainage, simplifying routine maintenance tasks for boat owners and service technicians. Installation is performed from the exterior of the hull, and the square-drive plug can be easily removed to facilitate drainage. This product is intended for buyers seeking a straightforward and reliable solution for managing bilge water outside of operational use.
The primary function is to facilitate easy bilge draining when a boat is out of the water, such as when it's in a cradle, sling, lift, or on a trailer. It allows for the removal of bilge water from the outside of the hull.
All models, including the TD-500, are designed to be installed from the outside of the boat's hull. This external installation method simplifies the mounting process.
To drain water, the square-drive plug on the TD-500 is removed. This action opens the drain, allowing bilge water to exit the vessel from the exterior.
This product is suitable for boat owners or marine service professionals who require a practical method for draining bilges when a boat is stored or undergoing maintenance out of the water.
