Plug for swim platform "cooler"

[Cincy Aquaholic]

My boat has what I guess should be considered a "cooler" in the swim platform. While I doubt it's insulated or anything it is a pretty big tub and can hold quite a few cold ones! Problem is, the drain allows the ice to melt and drain right out so it doesn't last long. Is there a plug for this type of drain? Not sure what one might look like if there is.

In a pinch - duct tape might work!

Maybe you can trim out that inner ring. I bought some rubber stoppers and screwed picture hooks into them for all my drains.

Measure the diameter and search on amazon. There are even some that sit on top of the entire drain and work quite well.

The center piece unscrews. I second Duck Tape as an interim solution.

Looks like a standard igloo cooler drain. Check Amazon. I 2nd Duck Tape as an interim solution.

The he center unscrews if you want to wine stopper it.

Yep, this is what I would do. That way you can just pull it off when you are done and it will drain right out. Less than $5

I hadn't noticed that! Thanks, I'll give that a try. I know Menards sells all sorts of sizes of rubber plugs. I bet I can find one to fit.
