Abstract: A boat plug has external threads that mate with a boat hole housing, and an end keyed to operate the plug. In preferred embodiments the key has a first end portion that mates with the plug, and a second end portion that mates with a driver. The first end portion, and the corresponding recess in the plug, can advantageously have depths of no more than 1 cm, and more preferably no more than 5 mm. In other aspects of preferred embodiments, the first end portion comprises a recess having irregularities, and independently the second end portion comprises a nut.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and system for providing improved aeration of a fluid that is propelled though a pump to efficiently transfer oxygen and other gasses to a liquid body. In addition to the aeration, circulation of the liquid body may be performed to provide additional efficiency and benefit to the fluid system. In one embodiment, the apparatus performs efficient aeration by utilizing a venturi effect on the submerged intake manifold of a floating centrifugal pump. The aerated fluid is then directed to circulate the aerated liquid to a portion of the fluid body that is in greatest need of the gas that is being mixed with the fluid.
