[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 211831, member: 1931"] Bilge pumps fail. If you did take on a bunch of water and the bilge did not work, you could get the motor running and pull the plug and drain the boat. So I personally would not fill in the drain plug. What you could do is take some regular silicone NOT 5200, and put some in the hole and install the plug. This would fill in any small gaps that may be leaking, and allow you to pull the plug. The silicone would stay in the tube and would continue to seal the plug. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
