I wonder how many would be honest and say at one time or
another they left out the drain plug. This thread was started for
fun only --- no insults or name calling.
I only had the 17' MFG my 1990 75 Mariner came on for a few months.
(old boat new motor purchased for the motor). I did take it out
several times to be sure the motor was good before I swapped it over
to my pontoon that I was rebuilding and I was 100%.
I left the plug out every time! Also almost sunk it at the dock in one
of our "8 inches of rain in 2 days" storms.
I was real happy to get back to a boat without a plug or a bilge


know what you mean, it only happened to us once and that was enough
poor bilge pump, they sound sometimes like their going to blow.
