As god is my witness, I can honestly say I have NEVER forgotten the drain plug. However, I have forgotten to undo the transom straps, I have forgotten to undo the winch strap, I have forgotten to unplug the trailer lights prior to dipping the hot bulbs into cool/cold water (blown bulbs, anyone?), and who knows how many other things. All those little, but important, tasks that make boating fun.
Walmart carries a little plastic orange temporary use garboard drain plug for about $2.98 if I remember correctly. I have one on my set of car keys and the boat keys. Good visual reminder and there in case of emergency.
Glad to hear MJ pipe up right away about the First Aid kit. That was the first thing I thought of after reading your initial post. YOU WILL USE IT FOR YOURSELF OR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT ENOUGH TO HAVE OUT ON YOUR BOAT!!! Get a good one, with scissors, tweezers, etc. and keep it updated. I broke mine out today for a small cut on a 13 year old's foot.
