Transom brass drain plug
Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2026 10:03 pm
Hello, I’ve got a 2015 R5 with a brass drain plug on my lower transom. I keep my boat in a slip in the water all summer. Does anyone apply Teflon tape to this drain plug prior to screwing in? And besides hand tightening followed by a 1/4 inch additional turn using a crescent wrench, does anyone recommend tightening further? Or recommend just hand tightening only?
