Default Bronze Transon Drain Plugs - How Many?

I seem to have 14 of them. At least.


Harry,
What happened to the boats that were attached to those transom plugs?

Why didn't you give the plugs to the new owners when you sold the boat?
I keep two aboard the board, the one in use and one extra, how did
you end up with 14?

Speaking of transom plugs, has anyone every used the self bailer type of
transom plugs? It was a great idea where the plug would have a one way
value that would allow the water to leave the bilge when the boat was on
plane, but would not allow the water to reenter the boat. The plug
worked perfect in all the test, until it was used in the real world.

It seems that any kind of dirt would clog the sucker open so it would
allow the water to come into the bilge as quickly as it would leave the
bilge. I tried to find a link for the "self bailer plug", but I could
not find it, so it must not be on the market.

That's my story and I am sticking to it.
