I appreciate the info/advice. :) First boat lift I've owned, so I'm learning as I go.

Anyone have any experience getting a plug out while the boat is on a lift? Obviously you wouldn't want to leave the plug out in case the lift loses air and lowers. But I'd like to get it out occasionally to pull the seagrass mats and scrub all of the non-skid. If I lay down on the blue lift floats I can barely reach the plug, which means I'd be at risk for screwing up and dropping it! I guess when it gets warmer I could just get in the water to take it out??

Plugs are cheap enough so just pick up an extra to have. They are commonly lost so you can usually get them at the convenience stores and marinas around the lake. Put a ribbon or hair tie on your throttle control so you know if the plug is out.
