remote drain plug issues
any of you guys had problems with your remote drain plugs breaking or not closing and sealing correctly hard to close? after several tries to solve this issue i have come to find that once the drain has been left open the rubber o ring dries out and when you go to close it the o ring drags on the plastic drain hole and wont close all the way without extra force, however if you wet the o ring it closes easily, adding lubricant attracts dust, dirt etc. some lubricants are offensive to the rubber o ring and will errode it over time and cause added issues. today i removed this item and went to a standard T&H manual plug which I dont mind screwing in and getting on one knee to reach, and the hole from the valve selector will now be a battery monitor once installed and no more dealing with the issue so if you are having this issue over time this may be a solution for your problem. my boat is a 2014 Z521C.
