    Yes you can do that...also with a vacuum in reverse (blow mode) you can add 2 or 3 lbs of pressure and tip the hole to the downward.

    Yup- really like the pressure idea. Just drill your hole and put the compressor to it.

    We worked on a pontoon that had a siphon hose installed in such a way it had one end coming out the top of the pontoon (sealed to the top) and the other inside on the bottom. As the heat from the sun caused the air in the pontoon to expand, it pushed the water out the top hose, --You had to have a nearly sealed pontoon for this to work.

    If your going to drill a hole make it big enough to take an expansion plug. .Like the old thermos bottles had. Then you can let it sit on the trailer and drain. Just hook the plug to the key switch so you don't forget.
