Pull The Plug

When you haul your RIB for the season don't forget to pull the internal hull bung and drain any water that may have entered the hull during the season. Water can get into the hull through the wire conduit, condensation, and any deck hardware that is not properly sealed. Once the boat is on the trailer be sure to raise the tongue as high as possible to insure all water is drained and leave both the hull bung and transom plug out for the winter. It's also not a bad idea to consistently pull the hull bung during the season to insure there isn't any water in the hull.
