That's happened to almost everyone, maybe more than once. I'm sort of lucky that I can reach over the transom far enough to screw the plug in.I know last year the boys at the launch were laughing at me. I launched the boat with out the plug. I had to drop my wife off at the dock so she could back the trailer back in. I was doing loser laps while the biliage pump was shooting water out the side. I swear it took forever for her to get the trailer in the water.
Oh man that was embarrassing. Guides were leaving the marina in the morning & I'm sure i gave them all a chuckle Never again will I do that!!
