Hi all. Minor, but annoying issue here. After picking up my 2023 Scarab 255 I noticed the head sink drain stopper is stuck in the down/closed position with some water in the sink. Before I start messing around with it and possibly damaging it, does anyone know for sure if this is a press-to-close, rotate-to-close, or other mechanism to close the stopper? I tried rotating it and pressing it (without too much force) and nothing. There is no lever by the faucet and under sink access is not easy access. Thanks!

I figured it out and posting in case anyone else runs into this. The head sink stopper opens and closes by pushing on one side of it to rotate it open/closed on a central axis - a butterfly valve. Mine was hard to open the first time probably because the new rubber seal on the valve was still sticky. Works much easier now that I've worked it a few times.

Thanks for closing the loop!
