Got stationed overseas and left the plug in but have good pump -- should I worry?

[250SR/2252BL]

Hello,
Live around Ft. Myers and boat is on a lift, I keep it plugged in, and it has a new (supposedly) bilge pump. Boat has full enclosure cover but it leaks a little. Forgot to pull the drain plug --- should I be concerned? I've hear different things and a search here didn't bring up much. Thanks for any advice!

Maybe yes, maybe no. Why make yourself crazy while you are away? Have friend go unscrew the plug. Just don't forget to put it back when you get home.

Follow Henry's suggestion..........we have 2-3 Sea Rays a year in NW Florida that fill with water wile on their lift and fall stern first which sinks a boat real quick. In fact I bought a 200SD from an insurance company that was sunk to the back of the front seat. We repowered it, rewired the engine compartment, cleaned the fuel system and my son is now enjoying the boat.
