Snap Handle vs. T-Handle drain plug?
Whats are your opinions of the two? Which is best? Has any experiance a snap ring or t - handle coming out on the fly?

snap handle, un latched when we were running across a bit of grass to get inside of the bull rush line where we fished. getting the boat emptied out required a ballet of my buddy with boat half off of plane doing circles in front of the boat ramp whilst i got the truck and backed it down the ramp in a prompt manner. if i would have been alone, i would have had to get wet. i have had a screw in type ever since.

I have always used
the T-Handle and never lost one. I clean any oil off of the plug and the hole. I really like the threaded ones best.

the snap handles were made for inside the boat, and the t handles were made for outside the boat.. meaning the snap handles you put in the hole from inside, and the t handle you put in from outside... never had a problem with eaither.. but the t handle does offer some more insurance
