If you ever lose your plug just get a nice young poplar a bit bigger than the diameter of your drain hole. If you can pound it in from the inside of the boat going out all the better but even if you can't-twist and jam that green poplar sapling in as tight as you can and trim off the excess with something sharp on both sides of the drain hole and go fishin. That little poplar plug will swell up and seal like you can't believe. Grab another branch and take it as a spare just in case. Same if you ever poke a hole in a boat and you are in an emergency beat a chunk of green poplar in the hole. It seals up and holds back water.
