Abstract:
A drain plug for installation into the in-floor fish-boxes on fishing boats. It is a removable and reusable filter that prevents detritus and other unwanted items from entering the fish-box drain system. The filter is a raised screen filter that allows water to drain out of the In-floor fish-box while preventing undesirable material from draining. Once the in-floor fish-box has been drained, the drain plug is removed for cleaning, and then reinstalled after cleaning.

Claim (Index 1):
A raised drain plug for an in-floor fish-box attached to a drain tube of a boat, comprising:\n an in-floor fish-box with a drain opening providing access to a drain tube on a boat; a removable drain plug, the drain plug draining through the drain opening and into the drain tube of a boat; the drain plug further comprising a base plate connected to a mesh filter; the mesh filter further extending upward from the base plate such that liquids in the in-floor fish-box pass through sides of the mesh filter and detritus and debris from fish or other seafood are prevented from passing through the mesh filter; the mesh filter further extending from the base plate such that substantially all liquid in the in-floor fish-box flows from the in-floor fish-box into the drain tube; and the drain plug further extending downward from the base plate, the portion of the drain plug that extends downward is sized to snugly fit in the drain opening of the in-floor fish-box and the drain tube; whereby detritus and/or debris is prevented from entering the boat's drain tube.
