If they are sticking just rebuild them https://jetboaters.net/threads/rebuilding-yamaha-jet-boat-clean-out-plugs.46/

I disassembled and cleaned some with dish soap. It helped a little while I waited on parts to rebuild.

They are not sticking.. when they are wet they go in easy.. when they are dry they are a bear to get in..

Rebuild them and they will almost fall into place. It is well worth the $80 and 20 minutes.

I put some gasket lube (available at any pool store) on the rubber gaskets on mine periodically. It is a silicone based gel and keeps them nice and fresh. Others have suggested a silicone spray (like WD-40), but the gasket stuff works perfectly for me with less mess.
