Its a mistake you make only once.  Left mine out before.  Tied up to the dock.  Parked my truck and came back to 2 inches of water on the rear deck.  Grabbed plug and pushed it in real quick.  Bilge pump took care of the rest.  Took 10 minutes to pump all the water out.

yup...once after rebuilding the carb we took it down to dunk it in the lake and check some stuff.  slide it off the trailer, park the truck, look in the cup holder...............drain plug.
ran down and jumped in the water to stop the bleeding and put it back on the trailer to drain.
i don't like to tell the story, but my wife sure does.

I was  lucky.  I can reach mine from inside the boat.  Arm just gets a little wet.

hahaha I love forgot the plug stories.  I rebuilt the transom on my fiberglass boat last year.  I put in two garboard plugs....one on each side where they meet in the middle.  Theoretically, if I ever forget it I can do it from the inside, cause I sure as heck can't reach it on the outside.

I was wondering if there suppose to be a hose attachef to here? Finally got a wood stand built, acquired a cherry picker and i want to make sure that outboard is 100% before mounting it on the boat.

Hard to tell from that picture but should be able to find out here if you know the specs on the motor.
