Watercraft drain plug system

A watercraft drain plug system comprising:

• a drain plug assembly including a drain plug housing and a drain plug, the drain plug housing adapted to be secured in a hull of a watercraft, the drain plug being moveable within the drain plug housing between an open position permitting water to flow through the drain plug housing and a closed position prohibiting water from flowing through the drain plug housing;
• a cable assembly having a drain plug end and an actuator end, the drain plug end operatively connected to the drain plug to move the drain plug between the open position and the closed position;
• and
• an actuator assembly adapted to be secured within the interior of the watercraft, the actuator assembly including an actuator and a locking mechanism, the actuator end of the cable assembly operatively connected to the actuator, the actuator controlling the drain plug through the cable assembly, the actuator moveable between a first position in which the drain plug is in the open position and a second position in which the drain plug is in the closed position, the locking mechanism selectively securing the actuator in the second position to prevent inadvertent movement of the actuator from the second position to the first position, and thereby to prevent inadvertent movement of the drain plug from the closed position to the open position, the locking mechanism being spring-loaded to positively retain the actuator in the first position and the second position.

A watercraft drain plug system

• comprising:
• a drain plug assembly including a drain plug housing and a drain plug, the drain plug housing adapted to be secured in a hull of a watercraft, the drain plug being moveable within the drain plug housing between an open position permitting water to flow through the drain plug housing and a closed position prohibiting water from flowing through the drain plug housing, the drain plug assembly including a second drain plug housing and a second drain plug;
• a cable assembly having a drain plug end and an actuator end, the drain plug end operatively connected to the drain plug to move the drain plug between the open position and the closed position, the drain plug end of the cable assembly additionally operatively connected to the second drain plug;
• and
• an actuator assembly adapted to be secured within the interior of the watercraft, the actuator assembly including an actuator and a locking mechanism, the actuator end of the cable assembly operatively connected to the actuator, the actuator controlling the drain plug through the cable assembly, the actuator moveable between a first position in which the drain plug is in the open position and a second position in which the drain plug is in the closed position, the locking mechanism selectively securing the actuator in the second position to prevent inadvertent movement of the actuator from the second position to the first position, and thereby to prevent inadvertent movement of the drain plug from the closed position to the open position, the actuator additionally controlling the second drain plug, whereby movement of the actuator between the first position and the second position results in movement of the first and second drain plugs between the open position and the closed position.

A watercraft drain plug system comprising:

• a drain plug assembly including first and second drain plug housings and first and second drain plugs within the first and second drain plug housing respectively, the first and second drain plug housings adapted to be secured in a hull of a watercraft, the first and second drain plugs being moveable within the first and second drain plug housings between an open position permitting water to flow through the first and second drain plug housings and a closed position prohibiting water from flowing through the first and second drain plug housings;
• a cable assembly having a drain plug end and an actuator end, the drain plug end operatively connected to the first and second drain plugs to move the first and second drain plugs between the open position and the closed position;
• and
• an actuator assembly adapted to be secured within the interior of the watercraft, the actuator assembly including an actuator, the actuator end of the cable assembly operatively connected to the actuator, the actuator controlling the first and second drain plugs through the cable assembly, the actuator being moveable between a first position in which the first and second drain plugs are in the open position and a second position in which the first and second drain plugs are in the closed position, whereby movement of the actuator between the first position and second position results in movement of the first and second drain plugs between the open position and the closed position.
