Well, this is a fairly well documented topic, so it is mostly for humor.

Trip #5 on the boat complete. Pulled drain plug and of course some more shavings came out. So the next day, I created a little "hangar hook" to do some fishing around. I want to be done with this already. Check out what I pulled out! And this is AFTER five times of flushing from the drain plug on previous trips.

Side note: I pushed quite a bit back into the boat. The hatch between the pullout ports is useful. I could reach all the way down to the where the drain hole is. If you push the debris back into the boat instead of trying to fish it out, it is possible to make pretty quick work of it! (Especially for things like the washer and the stopper, which would never come out the drain hole).

Speaking of the stopper.... What the hell is that used for?? Eeek

Looks about right. Maybe a little light on debris, but you will get it eventually. haha
