Default Re: Bildge drain possible leak?
welcome!!

If it was me, I would use Marine Tex for a small area and Formula 27 for a large are in the gel coat repair.
But you will have to seal it with paint or something.

The Bildge sleve is best grabed with som pliers and yank it out!!
You have to look for water intursion, and if there is any damage to the wood.
After that I would use some 5200 to coat the suronding area to seal the wood from any other water getting in there.
I would then mount a screw type plug holder, 3 screws hold the base on and then a screw in plug. Use lots of 5200 and let dry well, and Never worry again.

Good Luck!
