So you might ask,..what would cause me to go to that effort..? When I first got the boat I DID Forget the drain plug on ONE occassion.  Fortunately I was still near the launch ramp when I saw the bilge pump go on and was able to get the boat back on the trailer in time. NB |
I do believe I remember you posting that when it happened, lol -- and you never ever forgot to check for it again!
