This happened twice to me and my Dad. The last thing we usually do when talking the boat out of the water is remove the drain plug. It is kept in the boat’s glove compartment, when not in the water. Both times we noticed pretty quickly and were able to get it back on the trailer and pull it up to drain.

Yeah, he’s dead. They aren’t getting dues from him anymore got to get theirs somehow!

I am pro union, but I hate gatekeeping behavior that sometimes crops up around them. Not exactly this incident, but I have seen electrical unions engage in some pretty petty behavior in an attempt to push a non-union shop out.
