Getting ready to take my new 2020 AR190 for the second time this season. In checking the ski locker I found the drain and what looks like a plug under the black mat. Stupid question but shouldn’t the plug be installed in the drain not just thrown in the ski locker which it looks like what happened here?
No prob. Yes, you will find lots of debris...especially at the hull drain plug. I’ve tried to spray the hose into the drain in the ski locker to try to coax more of it out but it seems never ending.
I believe there are actually 2 in the engine compartment . I know there are on mine. One in the floor that goes directly to the transom and another on the vertical bulkhead wall above it going into the fuel tank compartment. There are multiple other threads on here and as many members prefer leaving them open (less water accumulation in ski locker) as there are those that keep them secured. I personally leave all three open( lake fresh water only) and it has prevented water from standing in the lowest point of the in floor locker. Either way , the tab ends should probably be inserted in the threaded holes ??
