Didn't cost a penny. I've had them for about 5 years now.

Ken15	posted 06-26-2009 12:38 AM ET (US)             I use two 1-5/8-inch rubber drain stoppers from Home Depot for $2-each. I place them in the scupper from inside the boat. I only use them in a calm area with no seas, and only with family that doesn't want wet feet. Good Luck Ken
