Another Clean-Out Plug Thread

[drewkaree]

First day on the water with the O-rings installed and no water on top of the plugs. I may buy a couple of plug rebuild kits as mine are very hard to rotate with the O-rings installed even after spraying them down with silicone. Based on how hard they were to rotate last weekend when I did a test fit, I made a tool out of 3/4” PVC that allows me to press down on the plug and rotate it with two hands. The U shape at the bottom fits on each side of the plug handle and it worked like a charm. It was a tight fit between the top of the plug tunnel so I will shave off a bit of material but I’m pretty happy with it.

Same with my plugs when I installed the O-rings today and tested. Starboard side was easier to turn, and not a problem.

Picked up 3/4 and 1/2 fittings, I think I may be going with 1/2"

How tall did you make it?

I think the shaft piece was 13" long - the overall height is whatever the remaining PVC pieces added up to......
