Default Re: What is that plug?

Make sure you inspect it carefully when you get the boat home. If it is very old, get a new thru-hull in there. It is definitely a drain and will definitely allow water between the hull and liner if it has any cracks in it. Mine was original and it was brass and very thin and brittle-out it came.
I never need to plug that box unless I'm trying to keep some ice cold water in there for fish.-I think you may be better off leaving it open even if you do use it for storage, as it will always drain the rain water then.
