Fiberglass Jon Boat W/ Shrouded Drain Plug

Hi Crappie.com,

I'm working on getting a 12' fiberglass Jon boat into the Hudson and in addition to the transom drain plug leaking, I have an additional leaky drain plug on the bottom of the boat inside the middle seat which has a hinged access panel on the top of the seat. Does anyone know what this shrouded drain plug is called? I'm wondering if this is something I can just change the rubber seal on, or should I just use sealant? I have attached a picture of the bottom view.

Thanks

:popcorn certainly has peaked my curiosity

I have never seen Adrain plug in the bottom of a Jon. I wonder if it was added after the boat was purchased. Are you the original owner? I had thought since it was under the middle seat it might have been used as a live well or cooler thus the drain plug. That would be my guess.

You may get more responses moving this to the main forum. That said, welcome aboard from NE PA!

Yep agree with bob, welcome from Southwest Missouri. In response to CP My Aluminum Richline challenger had a screw-in drain plug in the floor behind the back seat that drained through one of the chines on the bottom of the boat. That was a first for me...
