New owner of a Puma STS. I am told there has been problems with remote drain plugs, can someone shed some light on this for me

The thickness in the back of the hull area is deeper than the drains are molded for. That is about 1” thick on a BCB and the remote drain is not protruding far enough, thus the screen gets limited flow and can clog easily.

I only have about ten hours on the boat but nice job BCB. This is my only disappointment so far. I have had another brand of boat with the remote and for many reasons loved it is there anything I can do to get one?

Bass Cat,

Is this being addressed at the factory and re-worked? My STS is on order and if y’all know the problem I would love to know it is being fixed….

The area has more to do with the design of the remote and is one of the reasons we did not offer them. Bass Cat has a thicker rear hull area than the remote drain. They do work though clog easily with trash as the surface area of the screen is very small and short. Thus the actual drain surface area inside the hull is somewhat restricted as the drain area is inside the hole cut through the hull.

There is no way for us to address this other than reducing the rear hull thickness. There won’t be any reductions to hull integrity in that area.

If the drain were to become clogged, I assume it has to be cleaned out from inside the hull?

If a person purchased the remote drain, but had problems and wanted to switch – what sort of changes would be necessary to switch to the “normal” screw-in plug?
