Anybody used one of these?
Anyone used one of these? My boat stays on a lift but even with the cover on I get rain in through the vents, so I have to climb down the back of the boat every time like a chimpanzee and pull the plug.....
I'd put the real plug in if I was overnighting somewhere, but does anyone have any experience with one of these?

Our boat is on a lift with a lift cover. Being anal I put the snap on cover each night. I never have gotten water in the vents that put water in the bilge. The product you describe sound pretty good and if you are having some issues it sounds like a solution

I installed one on our boat..
It would get clogged up with the smallest amount of debris when trying to drain water from the bilge
Finally got fed up and took a chisel to it and took out the check ball..

That was my biggest concern. The dirt clogging it and then me enough water getting in to agitate me. I can't stand water in the bilge.....

. Hey man - saw your boat in CL. Did you decide to off it?
