Ok , Ive read where you guys are putting you plugs in from the inside and the outside , Some are the theros bottle type rubber with the flip lever on them and some are screw in made of brass or nylon ( mine is the latter ) which go s in from the outside . I have stood on my head trying to fit the first type in that bung hole and with my (huge clubs I call hands) make it impossible to do from the inside . Dose anyone use the thermosbottle flip handle type on the outside ? If so wouldn't they fall out with stress of boating back there? :confused:

I certainly hope it does not fall out, so far it hasn't. When my feet get wet up to this date it has always been sweat.. :D

Never had a problem with them on the boats that had them. Always made sure the metal flapper was flipped to where no water could get to it.
