Some of the boat transom plugs are not well made and do not grip tightly; not surprising for something that sells for $1. Look for one that has ribs running around its circumference; they seem to work the best. And, you can always add a wrap or two of double sided tape to augment its grip. Just don’t get over ambitious here, they are rigid plastic tubes and will crack if you take the “get a bigger hammer” approach to taking them out………
