boat hull plug tricks?

hey guys, im getting the boat ready for winter and that got me thinking

Hope you're getting it ready for water instead, we've had enough winter already!

You could take the whole assembly out, repair it, re-seal and re-install it. I just use silicone after the hole is clean and dried out.

Many brass plugs are hollow on the thread end and easy to drill if needed to collapse the threads for removal.

I install the plug using a 4" adjustable so I don't put too much on it.
