[Capri25] Need suggestion for cockpit drain plug

[Glenn Selvin]

Another suggestion?  We mounted a small, plastic horn cleat aft of the rudder post, screwed to the floor.  Cut a tennis ball in half.  Take a piece of shock cord, put a knot in one end, pass the shock cord through the halved tennis ball, through the transom "drain", back through the other halved tennis ball, then another knot.

Flip the shock cord over that floor mounted horn cleat, and the tennis balls are snug, covering the transom "drains.". Flip the shock cord off the horn cleat when you're back on your trailer, and the tennis balls dangle, allowing the cockpit to drain when you rinse the boat down.

The cockpit drains give my guests the feeling that we are sinking when we heel a little and the cockpit begins filling. Anyone know of a good commercial plug?
