Post May be a dumb question about pods
Testing my boat tomorrow with the backh20 pods on. Do you guys ever have problems with logs knocking the plugs out of them. I can just picture going slow over a stump and sheering one of them off.

If you can put your plug in from the inside of the boat.

No I can't put them in from the inside. They are aftermarket and I welded them on. I am half tempted to thread them so I can screw a plug in. I have one drain hold and that is back center of boat. It is a pos riveted tracker not a costum

I have rubber plugs and have never had issue. You could buy this type of plug (below), the tab bends down, unlikely to get knocked out.

Tap and plug them is the way to go did that to my first set. the plugs either got knocked out or just leaked.

Measure the hole and get an expandable rubber freeze plug from a parts store. No edges/handles or lock tabs to snag and get pulled out, just a 7/16 nut to loosen to pop it out if you need to drain them.

Thanks for the replies. I had the 3rd one knocked out this morning when I was scouting. I called Arlen at backh2o. That guy is a plethora of knowledge. He said cork will work. So that's that I guess. Covered up in blue wings up here. They are making there way down to you guys.
