Another Clean-Out Plug Thread

A few hundred miles and quite a few hours later still totally dry..

This is how you installed your o-ring?

Yes! Might want to clean the port while you are there, though. Would enable a better seal.

Especially where the O ring sits in the groove and where the seal skirt of the plug contacts the metal.

30 minutes ride today (few full throttle runs) after O ring installation no water over plug - perfectly dry - $6 dollar fix - love it

Add me and my 2024 255 FSH to the success list also!!

First time poster, long time reader..

Anyone have a gopro video of a blow out actually occurring? Almost went the way of the titanic the other day.. Rebuilt the port side plug while the bilge pumped away.. (Im guessing 400 to 500 gallons of lake water made it in with the blow out ok maybe not 4 or 5 hundred, but enough to come half way up the motors and into the ski locker) Have a marine mechanic checking the other below water line seals, but curious how much water really does come in when a plug blows out)

This post will most definitely get lost, and would be far better served being moved to its own thread, or at least a thread with the old style of plugs - a handful of people in this thread with the new plugs may have experience with the old style of plugs you're referencing, but at best, the new-style plug people will be throwing wild ass guesses, and be less than useful for you as you sift through info not targeted to what you're actually dealing with

@zipper @Bruce @Admin maybe pull this out to its own thread or something for better views and assistance?
