I just 'inherited' a 1970 sunfish. The boat has a plug in its old style bailer, but the bailer has no float ball. Given the general lack of enthusiasm I have seen on the board regarding the effectiveness of these auto bailers, I was planning on just leaving the plug in and not messing with it. Plenty of other projects on this boat! Is there a way to figure out (without putting the boat in the water...) whether the plug is functional? Do they often go bad?
Thanks!
Thanks!
