I was thinking about that too. You'd have to pile on the silicone to make
sure not a drop of water gets in. I know the top of my drive gets submerged
when I get off of a plane, so water could potentially enter at that time.
The other thing I was thinking about was if bits of metal fell into the
drive (from stripping the threads). Not sure how you'd get it out though.
The threads are probably aluminum, and the magnet in the bottom drain plug
won't catch it.

I really wanted to get out
this weekend,but
your making me nervous ,i thought that since its on top and its semi
secure and out of the
water that I should be ok,until I get it repaired.

You could get some silicon sealer and run a bead around the plug
until you get it fixed properly.
