[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 167547, member: 166"] Dawson, Something that occurred to me today is why make an external plug when you can insert an inline plastic ball valve and do the same thing? This would allow the water flow to be cut off quickly and easily from inside the boat. Such valves are available inexpensively from just about any Home Depot or Lowe's in the plumbing section. You should be able to find one and barbs to match your tubing. Here's a link to what I'm talking about at Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?keyword=pvc+ball+valve&langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 Some barb links to adapt the valve to your tubing: https://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg1/R-100210038/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 https://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg1/R-100210038/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 Just a thought.
