I think I'll pass on the shot gun method for drainage.  It might take care
of the problem in the Scout but the cats belong to my daughters.  Hunting
season hasn't opened up on them yet.  I think a 50mm may be more likely to
give me the size hole I want though. I have seen some handy pop in plastic
plugs with a pull ring on them in Jeeps before.  My 800 has holes from the
factory that are probably the correct size for these plugs but the 800 came
with some hard to remove plastic plugs.  I was thinking about picking up a
few of these Jeep plugs and trying them out in the 800 and drilling the
necessary holes in the Scout II.  Anyone tried this?

I guess that *would* let the water out, and likely discourage the cats as
well. Let us know if you go with Allan's method, Pete, and how it works out
OK? ;)
