Drain Plug
Anyone ever replace/repack/reseal their drain plug? In the spring I had some water intruding from the drain plug that eventually swelled up and sealed. I just got pulled today and was informed by the staff that my drain plug housing spun while they tried to take the plug out.
has anyone ever had to replace/reseal the drain plug and if so how do you get that out without damaging the hull? I think it has 4 screws into the hull, I fear that those may be damaged now.

Re: Drain Plug
Lots of times the original hole is a bit big and the screw holes to mount are too close to the inside hole edge and break thru with the yearly plug out and plug in.....the lift guys almost always give it a quick tight check as well. Good luck.

Re: Drain Plug
But as for this job, I am not a big fan of messing with holes in my hull... so i'm really not excited about this job.
