Re: Bung does not fit snug
The second photo was meant to show that I could remove the plug while it was supposed to be locked. I did insert it "opened" however.
I will leave it pointed up, in fact that was almost a question I was going to pose but I figured the water would push it out (especially if it fit loosely in there).
I would think just from water dynamics that if you plug it from the inside that the water would be pushing on it trying to push it out the whole time (sitting / running). But if it were plugged from the outside the pressure on the water trying to come in the hole would help keep the plug in place. I know nothing about this though and I didn't even consider putting it in from the inside. I bet I can reach, I will look into this. I will keep one inside with me too in case this one falls out while I am cruising.
Had a similar problem,the bung itself was cracked/broken inside the hole,had to be replaced.
That is scary. I hope this isn't the case for me. I will take a better look here in a few minutes. Thank you for the idea though.
I am going to try some of these ideas just after my shower. I just got home from work. I hope to get the boat out on the water this weekend and I thank all of you for your help.
