Boat Tansom Plug

[Tequilasun]

Sooo...when was the last time you left the house and forgot your testicles?

never, but I always check too. Ever watch those shows on Discovery health? Weird stuff happens my man.

Dabell: you don't have to worry when you are married, they are always in her purse.

Dog: nice Missouri burn... Texas guys don't have to worry about losing theirs, the jeans are so tight down there you can see them.

Looks like Teguilasun likes to look at Texas guy packages... I guess you are in the Show me state.

The Solution

Here's the solution, and its only $10...

Looks like its got a butterfly valve that only opens one direction, I'm sure its not water tight, but it will save you leaps and bounds of time to get the plug in.

That's pretty slick. My Rinker actually had a cable attached to the oil drain hose that the drain plug was then attached to so the drain plug was always right there! The cable was handy because you pulled the drain plug and then just kept pulling and the oil drain hose came out.

I would suggest just removing the bilge pump all together and try same same experiement agian. Then go home and take 3 Propofol and get a good nights rest.

Since a few already know about my issue this weekend with forgetting to put the plug in before I launched my boat, what would you do if this was the case with your boat?

I personally launched the boat; heard the bilge pump start gurgling; my friend that launched me was coming back and I yelled back to him to retrieve the trailer; and proceeded to drive around at 5 mph before loading the boat back onto the trailer. The water never reached the engine, was above the steering wheel cable/rudder levers, and the bilge pump does work.

However, I am seriously considering putting a 8000 GPH pump into the boat now just because the 500 GHP pump that Tige provides wasn't sufficent enough to stay up with the amount of water being drawn into the boat.

So, what would you do?

Knowing how think headed you are, I would just sell the boat.

What is THINK HEADED?

What is THINK HEADED?

It's when you forget to put ur haul plug in.
You THINK your HEADED out, but in reality your headed another direction. Got it?

Geez, I'm confused. I'm not sure what a "haul" plug is.

Try the "same same experiment"??? Wow, you have a way with words.

Well, how about you go ahead and plan that for your boat and let me know. Maybe one day you will understand how to act on a forum and socialize where people won't dislike you becuase you are a tool.

Wishing people to sink their boat isn't the brightest ideas you have. Maybe you should take some of your medical equipment on your boat and use it as an anchor. Then go ahead and try and sell that stuff to the medical facilities and see how well your business does afterwards.

Haul??? Don't you mean HULL?
Pale??? Don't you mean Pal?
Whole??? Don't you mean Hole?

And you call yourself a small business owner. Guys, we have an educated one here.

Just stop.... You are not doing yourself any good.

You are like bird chit on an old car. Yeah its unsightly and annoying but no one really cares.

The "whole" what dont you mean hole, as in you are and @$$hole.

My plug is in one of the cup holders. Rather than installing another bilge pump, which isn't necessarily a bad idea, just get a Tsunami pump that plugs into a cigarette lighter. If it happens again, put that baby in the bilge and jump out and put your plug in the water.

1200 Gph is a lot of water...way more than what you'll take on without a plug.

Agree with dogbert. For those with fat sacks the pumps will do double duty.

About two weeks ago I had my boat out at Cultus Lake, BC. A huge downpour like I've never seen started with my boat sitting out on the lake.

It was coming down so hard the bilge pump couldn't handle it so I just stuck my Tsunami pump in there and it emptied in no time at all.
