[QUOTE="richg99, post: 450546, member: 4376"] Not my boat. Your choice. But, this old codger wouldn't trust my life to "sticking a rubber plug in". Earlier this year, I had occasion to forget to put the 3/4 inch plug into my boat. I was distracted at the launch for a few minutes. When I noticed water around my ankles, I immediately knew what I had forgotten to do. The bilge pump was NOT set up to automatically go on. Water was jumping out of the deck drain. The big motor wouldn't start (the cause of my distraction) and my trolling motor barely got me back to the launch. Nope, no rubber plugs for me. [/QUOTE]
