[QUOTE="richg99, post: 174369, member: 4376"] All great posts and to the point. Yes, I've had to pull the plug and run fast to drain a couple of boats out. It works. The amount of water that rushes back in when you stop is far less than the amount of water that was flushed out on a long run. Carry an extra plug, tied to a string near the stern. Rather than a plastic milk bottle, I use a plastic washing machine soap bottle. They are made from a stiffer plastic and are easily modified to fit with a comfortable handle. Good advice above on having BOTH the hand and the electric ways to let the water out. Coastal rains can fill the boat quickly. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
