Saw that on the news yesterday, some people try as hard as they can to kill themselves. From what I gathered, the plug fell out. I don;t know about you guys, but I used to put my plugs in from the inside, so if they did pop, they would be inside. When I re-did my transom last year I ripped my plug sleeve out and installed a garboard.

In the old days, natural selection would have weeded their genes out of the pool.

A garboard is a NPT pipe setup used on the higher end boats, they don't fall out.

Glassing over works if you have easy access to your bilge, you do not want ANY water in there when the weather hits freezing, especially if you have a wood core transom. Water expands and will delamitate the glass allowing water to wic in causing rot.
