    Freedom 235 Drain Plug Question

    Yes, pipe thread plugs always stick out some. Does not need to be super tight either- finger tight plus maybe a half turn. I keep an open end wrench (and the plug, when not installed) right in the storage compartment on the swim platform.

    Freedom 225 CommandLink (6Y9) Alternatives?
