    99 187 elite

    I changed out the entire boat drain plug. It's just cheap plastic one. It has a plastic washer that is supposed to seal inside where it seats. It's gotta a slow leak.
    What do recommend for a good plug?

    now would be the time to consider a remote drain plug. I installed one on my 210 and I love it.

    Assuming the install is good, and it is leaking around the plug. Try lubricating the plug before you screw it in. A little water or spit, works pretty good. You will feel the difference from dry, it will screw in another 1/8 or so.
