Brass drain tube ?

[steplift20]

I have it coming, Amazon sells the tube,the flaring tool and 1 oz of 5200 it's all coming . I never used the flaring tool but on you tube the flared end goes inside the boat and you flare the outside I hope it works out good. My boat is a 78 so like you I figured if it lasted over 40 years I will just replace it with the brass sleeve but I do like your PVC pipe idea it sounds very good.
