A '''limber hole''' is a drain hole through a frame in a boat designed to prevent water from accumulating against one side of the frame. Limber holes are common in the [[bilge]]s of wooden boats. The term may be extended to cover drain holes in floors. Limber holes are created in between [[bulkhead (partition)|bulkhead]]s so that one compartment does not fill with water. The limber holes allow water to drain into the lowest part of the bilge so that it can be pumped out by a single pump (or more usually, one electric and one manual pump). |

A limber hole is a drain hole through a frame in a boat designed to prevent water from accumulating against one side of the frame. Limber holes are common in the bilges of wooden boats. The term may be extended to cover drain holes in floors. Limber holes are created in between bulkheads so that one compartment does not fill with water. The limber holes allow water to drain into the lowest part of the bilge so that it can be pumped out by a single bilge pump (or more usually, one electric and one manual pump).
