    Drain plug question

    It doesn't seem that anything else is wrong with it. We managed to get the drain plug out yesterday and about 3.5 maybe 4 gallons of water came out and we don't think that drain plug had been removed in YEARS. But there didn't seem to be that much water in it. I can say that now we've got it...

    Drain plug question

    Me and my husband just bought a boat today. We located the drain plug which looks almost permanently plugged. (I'll post a photo below) We got a wrench and my husband tried to remove it to make sure no water came out. IT WONT BUDGE. I'm not sure if the previous owner ever took it out or not. I'm...
