Tube plugs gone ????

[archerxx]

On Saturday I got a call from my camp neighbor saying my boat was sinking. I have a 20 FT Tahoe Pontoon and live 3 hours from where it is docked. Being a great guy he got my trailer and pulled my boat out of the water for me. When he called back he said both plugs were missing from the tubes. I have only had this boat for a season and a half it is 2007. My question to all the more experienced tooner's is this something you have heard happening to others ? It seems strange both would be gone at same time. Also I flushed with fresh water is there anything else I may want to do since it was saltwater in the tubes ? Thanks for any insite you can give...

Absolutely vandals were at work. Replacement plugs are available at any hardware store. I would try to find some that take a hex wrench to install and remove them. Large hex wrenches (allen wrenches) are not usually part of everyones tool box so the vandals would need to buy one or steal one to get your plugs again.
