[QUOTE="surfman, post: 464725, member: 7404"] If it was me I would try to get the foam that is in there out. You don't need it, you need it to be full of air, foam just adds weight and decreases the buoyancy. Foam will also hold water. Why didn't they put the drain plug at the bottom of the pod instead of half way up the side? That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. You can cut a hole into the top of the pod and dig out the foam, then get a piece of aluminum sheet metal and rivet and glue the plate over the hole, That is what I did when I mounted my pods, my boat did not come with pods and I added them.
