garboard boat plug mod

[Stinky_Hooker]

Ever get tired of fumbling for a wrench or rusty pliers to remove it? *::)





A small brass nipple, a little grinding and soldering and NEVER again! *:D

4" Brass threaded nipple with the thread cut off MJ.

I notched it out with a grinder to fit snugly together.

Get it super hot, solder it and you are good to go!

Even worse, after searching for "nipple", you found a post by Stinky ? :-/ ;D

[TunaHead]

Thats my next project! Thanks for a great idea.

[macojoe]

Well I used mine on the trip from hell and it held the water in just fine!! ;)

[Skools Out]

my V doesn't have that style plug it uses the rubber style. good thought from our Stinker hey Stink i just got your message what ya needing brother?

[2ndchance]

Hey Stink, great idea, here is my version of the plug. Tool Maker Style
I used a .250 X 3" CRES dowel pin. I set up my plug and drilled and reamed the hole to .249 to get a .0005 to the side press fit.

Then just for insurance I drilled and tapped a 1/4-20 hole from the inside and installed a CRES set screw.

[Stinky_Hooker]

Great job! That makes mine look like trash!! ;D

[nipper]

Stinky, I like yours better. It is more ergonomic. One of you needs to look into patenting these things.

[msbhammer]

Wish I had one. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Whah !! :'( :'(

[2ndchance]

The Stinkmiester would be the one with the patent, it was his idea. I can see it now , Stinky Hookers Garboard Boat Plug. For packaging he have picture of him in his thong holding the plug in his hand :). Then maybe he can launch his line of male thongs ;)in assorted colors, it must get boring wearing the same color thong all the time :o :o :o;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[macojoe]

Great work 2nd!!!!

But you got to becareful with 2nd's that it doesn't leak!

And to late for nthe pat. I have already started the paper work! ;D

[2ndchance]

I'm not worried about a leak, between the press fit and the Loctite thread sealant I don't think much water will get by. After you get your patent you could throw Stinky a bone and use him for a model holding MJ"s garboard plug and he could still wear his thong ;D

[Blue_Runner]

MJ on my '73 it had 2 plugs. The garbord plug was underneath rather than on the transom. Is yours the same?

[msbhammer]

Two plugs ??? ??? ???

[Blue_Runner]

Heck yeah Hammer....can you imagine? Its hard enough to remember one let alone one UNDER the hull that you can see without bending down! But it sure does let all the water out.

I stressed to the new owner SEVERAL times that it had two plugs and not to forget that :D

[Stinky_Hooker]

i like the way you think 2nd! 8)

[macojoe]

I only have one at the bottom of the transom. Never seen two?

[msbhammer]

Yo STINK, I love teh package you sent me today. Thanks Bro. Enjoyed the panties that were packed as well. :-*
