Explanation for stupid folks like me? What is that?

    This is a butt plug for a boat. When you trailer the boat, you pull it out to drain water out of the bildge.

    They ALL do! I have 5 kayaks, 1 giant canoe and a 10' flat bottom. They all have a drain plug of some sort.

    Within seconds of shoving off into the swamp last spring when I noticed the missing plug. Trick here is, the canoe takes a minute to flood and I would have been well away from shore before noticing. Also, the monster LIPO4 battery and trolling motor would have took us to Dave Jone's locker with the quickness. Can't imagine how I could have got that gear back, but at least the water's clear!
