2018 AR240 Drain Plug Leak

[Chris Jordan]

Does anyone else have a leaky drain plug? Bought my 2018 AR240 brand new last June. One of the few things I dislike about this boat, compared to my previous 2010 SX240, is the crappy, cheap drain plug. I've replaced the plug itself 3 times hoping is was a washer issue or something simple, NOT!
I'm convinced there's something wrong within the drain or the threads.
I see an aftermarket opportunity to manufacturer a new drain unit and plug to retrofit.
Anyone else having this problem?

Someone else just posted their find for a direct replacement in the last week or so. I’ll see if I can find the link.

I dont care for the female portion of the bilge drain. It doesn't seem to have a good flat area for the oring to seat against. I plan on trying to come up with a better setup
