So, my son is working late and I'm helping his wife put their boat in. It's an 06 26ft Rinker Open Bow. He's had it 3 years now. So Brandy did not know where the drain plug went in. So I showed her. She put it in while I was gassing up the boat. I looked to check it out and it did not look like it was in far enough so I suspected crossed threads. I go to check it and the plate the drain plug screws into comes loose. Screws appear rotted out. So back to the shed with the boat and now a repair is needed. Longer screws and some marine silicon.
Son said it had been loose for awhile. I'm afraid this could have caused moisture and rotting but he seems to think it's no big deal.
What would you think and how would you check further and fix the issue?
