Vault Drain Plug

Time to toss your wrench in the lake

Every once in a while we come across a product that is simple, yet so useful, we have no choice but to slap our foreheads and question why we didn’t think of it. The VAULT drain plug from Seaview fits perfectly into this category.

If your boat has a drain plug, the odds of you keeping a wrench in the side pocket of your tow vehicle just went up dramatically. For most boaters a crescent wrench is the tool of choice and for years you’ve probably been wearing down the corners of your current drain plug after tightening and loosening it over and over. If you’ve ever lost or forgotten your wrench you most likely had your “man card” revoked as you sheepishly walked around to other boat owners begging to borrow a wrench.

What makes the VAULT plug unique, for starters, is it make it much more convenient to drain the water as you’re coming off the lake without the need of a single tool. The VAULT series transom drain plugs are engineered to screw right into the existing 1/2 NPT brass or stainless transom garboard. The triangular ergonomic cap ensures no tools are required to tighten or loosen the plug. It’s a direct replacement for black or white plastic, bronze, chrome, or brass traditional drain plugs.

There are two versions of the VAULT plug, a stainless one for $35 or a fiber reinforced ABS plastic one that floats for $10. It’s a simple concept that will probably leave you wondering why all plugs aren’t like this one.
