Too much exertion????

But those woods are prone to rot, if allowed to remain damp for periods. Soak them in some sort of oil, such as linseed, before storing them. Or you can make them from teak, but they'll be more difficult to keep in a thru-hull after driving them in. Frankly, I think duct tape and a trash bag is a lot more useful than a plug. If a seacock breaks, it is unlikely to leave a nice neat round hole to drive a plug in. But who am I to argue with age-old tradition? DSK |
