no, the tubes they go in are sealed so if they are not in, no water can enter the boat. if the boat were to rock water could wash up onto the clean out tray but it would simply wash back down the open tube,
personally, It wouldn't bother me to leave it in a wet slip with the plugs out, if you leave them in your going to have more cleaning/up keep with them,
@veedubtek ... Excellent write up and superb photos. Nicely done.
Reminds of why Will @JetBoatPilot warned me a couple years ago that ...... the best "Medicine" was to learn to REMOVE the plugs when you come in for the day, and re-install them before you go out again.
I didn't ever think it could get as nasty a situation as yours turned out to be.
Well, looks like it's all OK now . Glad. Thanks again - Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA
