Took these pictures 6/24 Hood Canal, Wa. The owner forgot the transom’s plug after dropping her off the night before to get ready for a shrimping trip. A reminder to all to plug before towing, don’t wait until you get to the dock.

Damn... that's unfortunate. But definitely another reason why you should always double and triple check that you put the plug in the boat, like you said, before you're at the dock.

when the plug isn't in, the keys to the boat and the plug should be together in zip lock bag.
