    As summer is progressing, and having this happen to me on my yami, not sure if it is a fluke or just those wasps liking gray……

    Anyway, just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef_ys3nIkXo FAST FORWARD TO 5:40 in the video.

    The exact same thing happened to me. I found it when the boat was already in the water but at least the water was warm.

    Just a warning to take a peek if your boats are sitting outside for any length of time.

    A friend of mine has to use a golf tee to plug the pee hole to keep the critters out. At least it works!

    I have an older 8hp Honda (grey) and I just had this happen! Son and I were up on Big Sandy and went to trolling and saw it wasn’t peeing! Moved into shore, kicked off the sandals and go out my ‘leatherman ‘squirt’ and clean out the hole..Wala!

    never had much use for pasture pool,dogs are supposed to chase the ball not me!!,anyway,the tee’s make great vacuum line plugs,tell tale hose plugs,and when you cant find any other use for them,you can whittle tooth picks out of them,and,they can be used to plug small leaks!! they swell tight and stay put if you use the wooden ones!!
