My brother leaves his 13 on a mooring.

One season he left the plug out. He occasionally cleaned the scum line that formed The second season, he installed a bilge pump and battery. Two back-to-back heavy rainstorms drained the battery and practically swamped the boat. The next year he ditched the pump and battery and left the plug out. Lesson learned.
