Does anybody know the location on the deck and height up the mast for the temp. side stays? With reference to misc. cabin leakage (during storage) has anybody simply installed a rear drain and angeled the boat to facilitate the function? I know most are afraid about any below waterline thru-hull stuff, but I have had multiple boats with this solution and encountered no problems. (With this question comes the obvious questions of the integrity of the transom area...thickness, construction etc.)
