Where do the drain plugs go in on a MAX II

[SumpCommander]

I recently picked up a MAX II & when i bought it, the owner gave me some drain plugs in a ziplock bag.. I cannot figure out for the life of me where they go in?? - Planning on going for a whirl in a pond soon sooooo i definitely would appreciate help from someone in the know!

Thanks,

They go into the recessed areas of the lower portion of the body tub at the rear of the vehicle. They should be fairly easy to spot once you get down on your knees.

Local hardware

some folks hate these, but I like them. As long as you remember to screw them in. They take a lot of abuse, and really don't stick out far. I silicone and rivet mine in.



They can be found just about anywhere on-line. Just google "Kayak Drain Plug".

What do I ask for at the hardware store?

Those plugs that he gave you need to be pushed in HARD. They will pop right in with enough pressure and will seal nice and tight.

I use the rubber coated handle from a pair of pliers to push them in. A multi-tool will do.

This is what i use in my MaxIV it is a Baitwell Plugs they fit in just right and then i turn the brass latch clock wise about two full turns and the latch them into place .They fit in there very good and i don't have to worry about them falling out ,,,and when i take them out i just unlatch them and turn them counter clock wise two turns and they slide right out .I got mine at a R&W Marine Sports Center they are 3/4 inch and i payed less than $5.00 for them ,,go to my facebook and see them ,,,,James Gray's Photos | Facebook

Haha, oh that line never fails. OK, back on topic, those plugs that Hydromike posted work very well and I got a set for each of my machines.

If you was using the same plugs that i put in this thread they can't come out unless they was not put in right to start with ,,(very easy to use) the cap plugs that come with the Max II and Max IV are very good at keeping out water but when they are taken out they are very rarely good enough to put back in .So thats where the Bait Plugs come in ,,when put in and the screw is turned -> to your right ,,2 full turns and then the latch flipped up or down or side ways it does not mater witch way you flip it. It will lock that plug in for good until you unlock that latch and turn it to your left 2 full turns ,,and then and only then it will come out . lol
