Narrow Ramp, New Plug, First Run: Project Boat Water Test

Описание: First water test after our garboard drain plug replacement. Our old brass drain plug was seized, so we replaced the plug and housing then took the boat to the ramp to see if it would hold.

In this video you’ll see:

If you’re dealing with a stuck or seized drain plug and getting ready for your own first launch, this is the exact kind of cautious water test we recommend—check while afloat on the trailer, then re-check at the dock before driving the trailer away.

What’s your go-to checklist item before you relax on a first water test?
