Default drain plug storage

Has anyone came up with something for their transom plugs other than throwing them in the glove box? Im trying to find or make a holder for the 3 I have. Thanks!

Mine typically ride on the K-plane. Haven't lost one yet.

Mine have a wire loop. I loop it over the trim lines when I take it out. Drain plug always there when I need it.

Mine stay in the door pocket of my tow vehicle, along with the wrench I use to install/remove. If the quality of your roads are like they are around here, I would NOT suggest to put them on the trim tabs or hang by wire loop. ...unless you have an extra set in the door pocket on your tow vehicle! LOL

I Just purchased a 2002 Sunsation 288 Intimidator which the drain plug is on a wire. They really pay attention to details!

I have three plugs. Take them out at the ramp, put them on the console of the truck. Drive 7 miles to my storage shed & put them back in at the shed. Next time down, I'm ready to go. Just my way.

We are on dirt / gravel roads.

Wire Loop is impossible to lose drain plug.

Arrange loop like this

Oh, there you go - I was thinking something closer to laying them on the trim tab.
