Hey MacGyver, what's your best on-the-water/at the lake fix?

[QUOTE="lbursell, post: 160886, member: 3905"] Got to the lake and had forgotten the drain plug. Found a well soaked, almost the right size, stick on the shore. Wrapped it round and round with a wal-mart sack and jammed it into the drain hole as tight as I could from inside the boat. Fished all night with a slow leak. When the water in the boat got a couple of inches deep, (every couple of hours) would crank up and cruise around for a little bit. While under way would reach down and pull the plug out. When the plug was pulled out, most of the water that had leaked in was suctioned out. While still under way, ram the plug back in and go back to fishing for a while. Only had to do it three or four times. Looking back now, we were lucky. It wasn't very smart and could have gone badly in multiple ways. But it worked that time. Somebody upstairs looks out for saints and fools, and I ain't no saint. [/QUOTE]
