2 years ago while playing a nice game of corn hole on the top of the houseboat, my brother yelled that one of the jet ski's was sinking. Come to find out one of the rubber seals around the drain plug had failed. With no possible replacement part on hand, I decided to look for other options. Found some marine epoxy in the toolbox and went to work making a new seal. Attached is the result and how it is holding up today. The fix worked well and I have never had a reason to change it but want to know if I should or just leave it alone?
