Replacing the drain plug
Last season I noticed that the drain plug was rotating slightly in transom as I tightened or loosened the drain plug. Today I pulled the old plug out and was pleased to find that everything appears to be solid and dry. I'm going to install a new drain plug and was looking for a recommendation on what to use to seal the plug to the hull. (Here's the required pictures for Hammer)

Re: Replacing the drain plug
Rick,
Personally, I would use 5200 or Boat Life. Would put these sealers on the screw threads as well as around the plug.

Re: Replacing the drain plug
Definately use an adhesive type of sealer. 4200 or equivelant wouldn't provide the hold you need. You don't want that sucker coming off.

Re: Replacing the drain plug
rotate the clock position so your screwing in fresh wood/glass, use 5200 and poke some in the old screw holes before you start

Re: Replacing the drain plug
I used 5200 when I put my motor on to seal the bolts, is that stuff always that runny or did I get a thin batch? It dripped for hours.
