Just took delivery of our new 2017 242X E-series on Friday. Spent the weekend enjoying the boat and trying to get used to some low speed maneuvers and so on.
Most days, I ended the day by lifting the boat and removing the cleanout plugs. Today, I forgot to remove them and so they are still in -- most likely with a bit of water on top of each -- and the manual clearly states that if you don't want them to stick you should remove them every time.
So my question is: how serious is it if I leave the boat like that for 4 days? It's a 6h round-trip drive to fix the issue, but I will happily do it if leaving it will make the drain plugs a PITA to remove. Bearing in mind that at this point the plugs have already been left in with water sitting on top for > 36h, so even if I go ASAP it will have been about 2 days (vs 4 if I just wait until the weekend).
Thanks!
