The hole where the plug goes in the boat is a little out of round. If I install the plug from the inside it doesn’t leak a drop.My partner put the plug in from the wrong side and then he didn’t tighten it very well. We were in a hurry to get on the water and I think me being overly cautious about every little thing as usual was getting on his nerves. We were on the water mostly trolling for a little over two hours. I happen to look back over the seat and saw the water in the stern. I weigh almost twice as much as he does and me being on the bow the whole time told me there’s water under the floor too. I walked to the back of the boat where he was and the water level went up quite a bit back there. Not enough to trigger the float though. I flipped the switch to manual and it didn’t take long to get rid of the water.Here’s the kicker. I had washed the boat and rinsed it out of the drain hole next to the pump. I didn’t do a very good job obviously because there was a lot of soap residue.So where on a very popular bass lake in a 1983 flat bottom with all these big bass boats. We’re trolling along with bubbles coming out the back of the boat. I got to hear several witty comments about the type of propulsion system.</blockquote>
