The drain plug uses an o-ring to seal.

I agree that Toad braking is not really needed on the larger Coaches, but you do need some sort of (emergency) Toad braking system in the event the Toad comes detached from the Coach.

Like doodad said.
Note that the C9S came out in 2007. Your Coach being a 2007 "model year" would have a 2005 or 2006 "engine year" - so a C9 (not a C9S).

The C9 is a very good engine.
