Confidence
before you launch.
An OEM-compatible drain plug presence monitoring system designed to help detect when your boat drain plug is missing before the boat enters the water.
Explore PlugSafeBuilt for the people who take their boats seriously.
Made for life on the water
Before the throttle.
Check the plug.
PlugSafe is designed around one simple moment: the check before launch. A small piece of hardware can provide a big reminder when it matters.
Watercraft ready
Built for the boat.
Designed for peace of mind.
From weekend lake boats to larger center consoles, PlugSafe is focused on the drain plug and the moment before your vessel goes in the water.
Protection without the clutter.
The monitoring concept is designed around existing drain hardware instead of adding a large external device.
Get the highlights
Small part.
Important job.
The system adds a simple layer of awareness to a part that is easy to overlook before getting on the water.
The drain plug
The PlugSafe system works with the drain plug assembly to help confirm that the plug is properly inserted before launch.
The sensor
A compact sensor detects the plug position and provides the signal used by the warning system.
Built and tested

The warning system
Know before
you launch.
When the drain plug is not detected as inserted, PlugSafe can trigger an alarm on the dashboard to alert the operator before the boat is launched.

has a reason.
How it works
Simple hardware.
Clear signal.
01
Install the assembly
The sensor mount interfaces with the drain plug hardware and holds the sensing element in position.
02
Plug installed
The mechanical relationship between the plug and sensor provides the intended installed-state signal.
03
Plug absent
The system can be configured to provide a warning signal when the expected plug condition is not detected.
