Drain plugs

[Ben Selby]

I am new to the max II and just restored one. I was wondering what drain plugs I should use?

ben...you can get the quick snap rubber exspansion plugs for a 3/4'' hole from mcmaster carr co. check their website here online. there the ones i use and others also . they have worked fine for me and last . johnboy va.

I ordered a bag of body plugs online but the rubber ones Johnboy recommended would be much better. I was just planning on a dab of silicone to seal/glue them in but figured they should still push out if I need to drain or clean my lower out.

ben ...check your hole size before getting the plugs . i can't remember if the original max 2 holes are 3/4'' or if i drilled mine out a little bigger so a 3/4 '' would fit . j.b.

Where can i get replacement drain plugs and does it only gave 2 drains. I just bought it and havent had a chance to really fully look it over. Thanks

pinnacle... it does just have the 2 holes in the rear . the original plus are a snap in plastic plug. probably '' richards relics '' sells them . the rubber expansion ones like i mentioned above are better . j.b.

I have been using rubber expansion plugs (live well drain plugs) for nearly 20 years and the only reason I have had to replace them is that I lost a set by misplacing them. I usually carry an extra set with me on trips for that reason. They work great. I have the kind that is like a lever that folds over instead of a t-bar. They have never failed me and never popped out while wheeling. I would stay away from the snap plugs, because you WILL have to wash out the tub from time to time and the bearings will leak a little especially if you are out floating in a pond for hours while fishing. If I remember correctly, mine are 3/4" diameter as well, but the best thing to do is measure the holes before you buy.

RI used 3/4" diameter Cap Plug (trademark name) plastic plugs when they manufactured the Max.
