I have been worried about my drain plug on my Kingfisher 1825 Falcon. The first time that I got the boat I installed the compression plug and tightened it pretty tight. We launched the boat and while waiting for my buddy to park the truck I heard a gurgling sound. Oops I reach down and turn it a couple times and problem fixed. This year I made sure that I added Teflon tape to the plug and tightened the plug pretty tight so much I was worried that the plug might break. No issues all summer. Then it got cold. I have the boat dry docked at Milltown. I request a launch mid-Oct and when I got to the boat there was 3 - 4 inches of water in the boat. So much water that when I walked on the deck I saw water splashing of the side of the deck. I reached down and I was able to do two 1/4 a turns and it seemed to work. After I pumped out the water it didn't leak all day. Has this happened to anyone else?
