Hi,

Just bought an AR230 2006, first run on the lake and one of the clean out plugs flew out with a bang and the hatch opened and everything was a chaos. I have bought the replacement kit and EZlocks and the plugs itself looks fine.
But now I am starting to worry that something more is damaged, do I need to worry about the hole where the cleanout plugs is attached? See picture…

That's the dimple where the plug attaches to. Does not look broken, but as expected.

Clean than out well so no dirt is left and the plug can actuate the hook into the hole/dimple fully.
