June 2023- New Maine law requiring boats be drained before launching:

https://www.maine.gov/ifw/fish-wildlife/fisheries/aquatic-invasive-species.html

• Prior to entering a water body and when preparing to leave launch sites, boaters are required to remove or open any devices designed for routine removal/opening (for example, hull drain plugs, bailers, live wells, ballast tanks) to encourage draining of areas containing water (excluding live bait containers). This must be done in a way that does not allow drained water to enter any inland water of the state.
