2012 Sea Doo 210 Wake plug on hull

[Botador]

Hi,
My last question on my new 2012 Sea Doo 210 Wake. Being completely new and ignorant about boats,

There is a plug in the back of the hull along the bottom that screws on. After using the boat for a while some water collects in the back compartment of the storage area in the middle of the boat. on the floor. Is the plug used to drain this? Do you typically leave it closed and only open it when you remove the boat from the water?

Really appreciate it.

Yes, its just used to drain the boat when its on the trailer. It's very normal for your boat to have some water intrusion, it's just the way their designed with the carbon seal on the driveline. Whenever I put my boat on the trailer I unthread it and drain any water, just remember to thread it back in when your launching!

Cheers!

Thanks so much. I did thread it on but had a small amount of water. I was concerned.
I appreciate it.
