Oh, you could if you've removed it to drain the water while running.
Now, I never have, but by "talking" about it, I'm hoping to prevent
this from happening.

I am also an inny.

I heard a story of a jetskier going along a dock pulling plugs from boats. This may just be an attempt to add bad press for jetskiers but I don't want to take the chance.

I have pulled my plug at speed to let the large icechest drain. Takes two people though - one to drive and one to man the plug in case it needs to go back in quickly.

Hi Fred

I wish I'd had more chance to cruise with you New England guys - great bunch.

We need to tell you that here in Washington waters, swimmers are almost as rare as seamonsters. A few in dry suits, granted, but they don't tend towards mischief.

I tend to put my plug outside, because when on the inside, where I prefer, I seem to get some leakage. I like the idea of a spare on a string, nearby.

I got two kids and two dogs in the house. I also have two plugs - one in each ear!!

One of the previous owners of my boat for some reason decided to glue PVC to the drain thru hull with a PVC ball valve. It is very solid and dry, so I haven't messed with it. My drain is in a large below-deck fishbox-type of hatch, and there is an auto-bilge pump in it (2000 gph). My plan has always been to have the CD shop install a screwed fitting for the thru hull and use a taper threaded plug. I am still planning to get the hull work done this winter, but, well, the kids and Christmas might put that off another year. But they do love their G'pa!!

On my CD22, the snap lever plug was always outside, with a spare kept on board.

I am an inner and was going to be an outer, but after sleeping on it for a few days, have decided to stay an inner. I am use to it and if I change, I am afraid I will forget to insert the plug.

If I can't have red, can I please have, oh, I donnnoo...Cabernet!? Charlie, You are the "keeper of the colors" right"?
Nice day here in Seattle. I met fine gentleman today while driving the shuttlebus at the VA. He was a prisoner of war of the Japanese for three and 1/2 years during WWII. He just bought a Toyota pick-up. Said you gotta let it go sometime. I was really touched. Apparently former POW's meet here once a month.

Not me.... Do you really not know how to change the color of your posts? Dave is supposed to be the slow one, you're the sharp as a tack one.... Shocked

Charlie
