So I am coming from a 2013 240, i notice on the 2021s, there is only a drain plug in the front of the engine bay. Drain in ski locker has no screw in plug...is this a 2021 change or post 2013 change. I also notice the access hatch to gas tank no longer has latches but is screwed down with bolts?

funny my 232 had a bolted down hatch for the fuel tank then next model change they went to latches. now they are back to bolts again. i can guarantee that the bolted down hatch seals better but if you plan on keeping the boat awhile and your in salt then take the bolts out now 1 by 1, grease them and put them back in. youll be thanking me down the road when you have to get in there

Only 2 plugs on my 252S. One in engine bay and on the back keel. And...it's plastic.

Sounds like 2021 change - my 2020 has a plug in the locker, 2 plugs in engine bay, one at transom.

grease the bolts with any marine grade grease. You can use antisieze as well

My 2021 212S has 4 drain plugs as well and all alike - plastic. Any idea on a replacement stainless or aluminum plug at least for the transom?

I don’t think so. My 2021 212s has a plug in the locker, 2 in engine bay and the transom plug.

I’ve seen some stuff in on here for the stainless plug. I’ve considered it, but have never had a problem with the plastic ones on any of our jet boats. Can’t see how somebody breaks one unless the force it.

So for clarification, I am talking about the 25ftrs. Seems so weird that they do not have a screw in plug in the ski locker. The 27ft has what looks like a stainless steel shower drain.
