don't believe you can order it from Yamaha but if you locate a stainless steel spring that is similar you may be ok check google for stainless steel compression springs lots of possibilities come up

Jeff, did you say that the spring carries more load when the clean-out plugs are left out in the locked, or unlocked position? I ended up buying a new one and I want to store them when not in use so the spring has as least amount of tension. Thank you.

yes I originally believed that the plug should be in the locked position for the spring 's sake but I was shown where the spring does not stay compressed when it is unlocked so in that respect it really does not matter other that to prevent silt , sand etc from being left behind where the tray comes to rest in the locked position so having them locked keeps the tray in the forward position keeps dirt out of the way of the tray's forward movement

Hey everyone. After replacing both, even the one that didn’t blow as it was also 8 yrs old; so figured I’d be proactive, and installing the cobra locks, I’m good to go. However, after this manhole cover “plug” blow got me thinking.
My boat never sat in the water until the past 15 months. For 7 years I had it on a lift and dry. Do you think now that it lives in a freshwater lake, the growth accumulation on the metal base where the manhole covers sit, and the dogs lock into, is causing me any issues with the “grip” that the rubber seal on the bottom of plugs needs to stay in? Or am I over thinking it now that I’ve experienced an issue. I will conclude for what it’s worth, with the fact that the spring in the cover that blew was all tangled.
Appreciate anyone’s help on this.

my boat always stays on the trailer, except I spent one week at a boat house and kept the boat in the water, the plugs got "swollen" and stuck after three days,
after that I removed the plugs when I was done boating for the day,
as long as your seals and clamps are good I don't have any worry, in addition the high water alarm and secondary bilge
