Re: do drain plugs fittings go bad?
Howdy,
You're sort'a in the wrong section. This is the I/O & engine section.
Your question might be better asked in the
Boat restoration and Building section.
A Mod(erator) will probably be moving this thread for you!!
Now having said that, yes........ There can be a problem in this area sometimes.
A lot of boat builders do not seal that area well and if you get cracks in the fiberglass, have old holes that had screws in them that are no longer there, bilge drains that are not well sealed, they can leak....transom mounts that are not sealed properly, etc etc etc.....
You can have leaks. They're usually not all that hard to find but you have to have the boat in the water and good bright lights to see where they are!
Regards,
Rick
