Bottom Drain Plug

[Chris Burkard]

The 32 should have a T-handled drain plug as described above. It is likely made out of Brass. As described, it should be aft just off center near the rear bilge pump. Make sure you reinstall it prior to launching the boat or you can imagine the consequences. If for some reason you are unable to locate it, you may have to resort to a hand bilge pump or a Wet Canister Vacuum (Warning!!!!!!!!! - The Vacuum either needs to be ignition protected, or you need to have a long enough hose to keep the Vacuum up on deck while you vacuum the water out). The Wet Vacs are only good for a limited amount of water (the last little bit the bilge pump can get). If you have a lot of water, you are going to need a bilge pump (Hand Pumps are usually able to get the water level down to just a few centimeters, whereas the electric bilge pumps can leave up to an inch of water in the bilge.
