Read about and had issues with dirt dobbers clogging up the pee holes on my Yamaha watercraft. Here is my easy/cheap solution.....just a medium size plastic wall anchor. It actually snaps in and fits perfectly. I add the orange flags so I dont forget about them when I remove the covers.20190922_155423.jpg20190922_155500.jpg20190922_155455.jpg
 
I've tried everything from golf tees and wine stoppers to weed wacker trimmer string. The best thing I have used is a small piece of electrical tape. It's almost invisible and if you forget to take them off, they will blow off once your bilge pump starts or you get out in the water.
 
My deluxe Yamaha cover covers the pee holes on my boat and has put an end to mud dauber nesting.

All of the above ideas are great....the hard part is remembering to insert the tees, or add the tape etc!
