Stainless steel drain plugs

I have the plastic plugs in my 190 and no matter what I do I still get water. I would like to replace them with the new stainless steel parts.

Does anyone know what they cost as well mas where I can get them?

I tried to get information from Triump, however they were less than helpful.

I just got mine in yesterday from Merritt Marine. They came in quickly and were about $18 or $19 a piece, which is better than my local dealer. There's a link to them on the home page, so you can either call or fill out their parts request form and they will contact you. They're going to be a nice upgrade, and I think my bilge pump is going to work a little less now.

Are you talking about the 2 plastic plugs in the back/bottom of the boat? Mine are a pain to get to because of the supports are right there.

These are the drain plugs I want to replace. You are right, when the boat is on the trailer they can be hard to reach. I made a tool that solves the problem.

I cut a slot in one end of a 1 inch diameter aluminum rod. The slot fits over the flat protrusion on the plugs. In the other end of the rod, I drilled a 9/32 diameter hole. To tighten, or loosen the plug I place one end on the plug and insert a screwdriver thru the hole on the other end. Push the rod against the plug and turn the screwdriver. Works like a charm.

The plugs are simpler to get in and out, but they still leak. I'm going to contact Dick and get the stainless steel replacement units.

get three, 2 bilge and 1 for inner hull drain. I am still amazed at how much water comes out of there, drip by drip.

What do you mean "1 for inner hull drain"? I have 2 in the back for the bilge area and 2 up front, 1 in each of the hull storage boxes.

Yep 3, the important drain the one for the inner hull. Just do a site search on "Inner Hull Drains" to get all caught up to speed on the subject
