plug question

[Blentz17]

I have a 98 sylvan v1800... should the screw plug go on the inside or the outside this is the first time i have owned a boat with a screw plug

Suggest you go by Wallyworld or a local marina and pick up a spare plug—they have a tendancy to not be where you think they are when you want to go boating (or get to the ramp and realize its not with the boat—been there—done that!)

Keep the spare somewhere on the boat so you’ll always have one. They run about $3-4

Good suggestion. I bought an orange plastic plug that fits on my boat’s keychain. Not only would it work as a backup plug in a pinch, butit’s also a good reminder to besure the plug is installed before launching.

Normal boat Garboard drain fittings are NTP, which is a tapered thread. They will only screw in fully from one side.......

And don't tighten the screw in type too much. Snug is fine.

take a sharpie and write the word plug on your transom tie downs.....

keep an extra plug in the glovebox of the truck, and one in the glovebox of the boat.

Thanks for all the responses, I went to Walmart and bought 2 extra one spare and one back up to the spare

I must have 5-6 of those things laying around my truck, boat, etc. I guess I'll never be caught without a plug! :laugh::laugh:
