So had a 'ride along' with a captain to explain the boat to me. He said not to worry about taking the drain plug (they dry dock the boat when you're done). But he also said not to worry with a boat lift either. And not to worry about the bilge pump unless there's a lot of water collecting by the motor. I know from reading on this forum he shouldn't be right, but I'd like some pointers. From my understanding, you take the plug out when taking the boat out of the water to let it drain and plug her up when taking her in the water.
