Hull drain debris/ski locker blockage

[BeauSko]

2 part question here. First, my AR210 is about a month old, and the hull drain continues to accumulate debris. It looks to be remnants from manufacturing (drilling, shaping, cutting, etc.). Does anyone have any tips on how to clean that out or will it eventually make its way out over time?

Second part is the ski locker drain plug. There is some sort of pink, hard obstruction that gets in the way of my plug making it extremely difficult to tighten the plug...no clue what it might be but here is a pic of it:

That should be the unfinished backside of the fiberglass. Keep in mind, your ski locker is the lowest part of the hull, so there shouldn't be much space between the bottom of the locker and the hull. Other than a small void for water to drain through.

I agree with Biff,
if you were to lay down in your ski locker and look up at the unfinished underside, this is mine, you can see a layer of "foam" on mine, I'm guessing that's what your seeing,

If it were me I'd lay in your locker and if you saw the same material I might scratch/cut it with a knife to see how porous/absorbent it is, if it's not I'd just get a exacto knife and clean it up enough to install your plug, if it was absorbent I might add a layer of somekind of sealant after I cut it,

That looks exactly like what it is (the pink stuff). Excellent advice...I’ll give that a shot. Thanks a lot!!

As for the debris at the hull drain, I took the hose n put it on the jet setting and sprayed it directly into the ski locker drain to try to force any more debris out. At the plug itself, I Just kinda twisted the plug to coax any more of it out...best u can really do I guess :/

I lost the tip of pressure washer down that drain. Never to be seen again.
One of the screws on mine is stripped out and needs to be resealed with 5200.

I rather keep that drain plug closed and keep locker clean and dry
