Attwood Stainless Steel Garboard Drain Plug - 7/8" Diameter

The Attwood Stainless Steel Garboard Drain Plug - 7/8" Diameter is the unsung hero of boat maintenance that every serious angler and boater should have on hand. After years on the water, any experienced skipper knows that water accumulation in the bilge can lead to structural damage, corrosion, and unwanted weight that affects performance. This threaded removable plug provides a reliable way to drain trapped water and debris from the lowest point of your hull, preventing the moisture buildup that compromises both safety and longevity.

Constructed from high-polished #316 stainless steel, this garboard drain plug delivers superior corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments alike. The 7/8" diameter thread size accommodates standard marine drain openings, while the retention system integrated into the design prevents accidental loss—a feature that matters when you're miles offshore or anchored in shallow water. The polished finish not only looks professional but actively resists the oxidation and pitting that destroys lesser metals, ensuring your boat maintains its integrity season after season with minimal maintenance.

Whether you operate a center console, cabin cruiser, or aluminum jon boat, the Attwood garboard drain plug fits standard marine applications and pairs seamlessly with most hull designs. Installation is straightforward—simply thread the plug into your existing garboard drain hole and hand-tighten securely. Boat owners who regularly haul out for storage, perform winterization, or operate in environments with high bilge water accumulation will find this component essential. Keep one aboard as part of your routine maintenance kit and another as backup; it's lightweight, affordable insurance against costly water damage.
