[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 372985, member: 7076"] Hi Pescador, My livewell drains below the waterline on the port side of the transom. I don't see any reason that a normal drain plug wouldn't work perfectly to seal off the livewell. The only thing I'd be careful of was to make sure that you don't expand the plug too much and crack the plastic fitting. A 20 year old plastic fitting will be brittle, and as it's below your waterline, that could make for an interesting trip. If you're looking for a permanent solution, you may be better off using some 5200 around the plug instead of expanding it. It would be a bear to get out if you wanted to remove it, but you wouldn't have to worry about ruining the fitting. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
