Whitecap S-5056C 5/8 in Brass Baitwell Plug
Whitecap S-5056C 5/8 in Brass Baitwell Plug — Product description
This is Whitecap's 5/8 inch brass baitwell plug, the small part that keeps your livewell holding water when you want it and draining clean when you don't. Solid brass stands up to salt and spray far better than plastic, so it won't crack or seize on you. A simple, honest replacement for a plug that's gone missing or corroded.
Lose a baitwell plug over the side and your livewell won't hold a thing. It happens. They're small, they get knocked loose, and the old ones eventually corrode or round off. This Whitecap S-5056C is the straightforward fix. It's a 5/8 inch brass plug sized to seal the drain on baitwells and livewells built for that opening.
Why brass? Because it lives in wet, and often salty, conditions its whole life. Brass shrugs that off. It won't crack the way a cheap plastic plug will after a season in the sun, and it seats cleanly without seizing up on you. Keep a spare in the tackle bag and you'll never lose a day's bait to a missing plug.
Whitecap has been making marine hardware since 1972, so this is a part built to fit and last. If your boat's baitwell or livewell uses a 5/8 inch drain, this is the right size.

Frequently asked questions
What size is this baitwell plug?
It's 5/8 inch in diameter, sized to seal a baitwell or livewell drain built for a 5/8 inch opening.
What's it made of?
Solid brass. That's what lets it stand up to constant wet and salt without cracking or degrading the way a plastic plug can.
Will this fit my livewell?
If your baitwell or livewell drain is built for a 5/8 inch plug, this Whitecap S-5056C is the right size. Measure your existing plug or the opening if you're not sure.
Is brass better than plastic for a baitwell plug?
For longevity, yes. Brass handles salt, spray, and sun far better over the years, so it's a common replacement when a plastic plug wears out or cracks.
