A fail-safe sealing system for a watercraft includes a self-bailing drain plug having an outer wall with a proximal end having a proximal opening, a distal end having a distal opening, and a fluid conduit that extends from the proximal opening to the distal opening. The sealing system includes a check valve including a ball disposed within the fluid conduit and being surrounded by the outer wall, and a ball retaining pin extending between opposite lateral sides of the outer wall adjacent the proximal opening for preventing the ball from passing through the proximal opening. The sealing system includes a sealing cap having a bayonet-style locking assembly that locks onto the ball retaining pin for securing the sealing cap to the proximal end of the outer wall for forming a water-tight seal with the proximal end of the outer wall of the self-bailing drain plug.
