This happened twice to me and my Dad. The last thing we usually do when talking the boat out of the water is remove the drain plug. It is kept in the boat’s glove compartment, when not in the water. Both times we noticed pretty quickly and were able to get it back on the trailer and pull it up to drain.
Answer from comment chain: drain plug from a boat. Without it boat floods, used to drain boats before towing
If you can get the boat going before it floods, the boat moving through the water will create enough suction to drain out any water. You just better have a plug waiting for you at your destination.
Grandpa always had 3-5 in the glovebox of his truck. One would always get left somewhere or someone at the boat launch would be swearing about missing theirs and he’d give them one. Just one of those things you have to keep around.
Some kind of ignition, probably?
The remix, actually.
Is that some kind of oil plug for a car?
Explanation for stupid folks like me? What is that?
This is a butt plug for a boat. When you trailer the boat, you pull it out to drain water out of the bildge.
Boss mode ! Thanks
TIL boats have buttholes
Bilge?
Water that seeps into the open space at the bottom of a boat/ship.
boat bung

Now that we know, why the hell isn’t it on a chain right next to where it belongs`We have figured that much out for the bath-plug ffs.
Probably due to the drain being on the back of the boat towards the bottom. Bath tubs don’t get towed on a trailer at 60 mph.
Just plug it back in when transporting.
No but RVs and Campers do and they keep the drain plugs attached via plastic.
