Save that plug !!

[dnatzic]

I was 175 miles from home when I realized that I got no plug?. I later found the missing guy in my aft port fish box. I was thinking of drilling a hole in the brass t-handle in the middle and running a light cable to an anchor point inside the bildge. Any thoughts on that?.

What ever works... for me I allways leave the plug on the bait tank, and the bilge cover off, this way I know it is not in. And I allway put in before I leave home, and cover the bilge. So in a nut shell if the cover is off....no plug in.

Tie mono though the "T" on one plug and tie the other end of mono over the center stringer(in the bilge) to the other plug. (works on 190 bays)

Been there, done that!

And that is why I had all 3 of mine retrofitted to the Stainless Steel self retaining type which makes it one less thing I have multi-task (remember) while I am trying to maintain heart beat and take in O2 at regular intervals when loading or unloading my 190

Putershark,

What model and where did you get the stainless thru hull plugs?

They are of the same type that was sent to me from Triumph back when I had the our old 210's inner hull crammed full of water. So I had my brothers in arms @ Heartland take out the stock center plastic bilge drain on my new 190, and installed 2 more inner hull drains (yep it had some water also) of the same stainless steel self retaining type at the same time…



Now Mark, I can not tell you myself who the supplier or P/N# is for this part, but a call to the dealership's parts department should tell you. Tell them they are the same ones used on their sorry webmaster's 190 (that should save you from the Dave who question ) and either John or Kel should know OR can look up the supplier information. You could also charge a set on your card and have a set shipped right to your door from them for that matter to save you some time.



So far though my Internet searches are finding only the plastic ones and no Stainless models, but If I do find them I will post the link for you Mark

Hope this helps?
