Re: Replacing the drain plug
A little background... I'm replacing the entire drain plug because the threads in the female half of the old one are worn and the new plug I tried does not turn easily. using this combination of old and new threads is how the drain plug worked loose from the transom in the first place. You guys have hit on my exactly why I opened up this thread to begin with. I thought about using epoxy but I wasn't sure something that permanent was what I wanted. I guess if I was rebuilding the transom or something like that then having to remove an epoxied in drain plug would be one small step in a much larger project. In this case I only need to fix the drain plug. The transom is fine. If this drain plug had been epoxied in then this would be a much larger job. I think I'll go with the slow cure 5200 and have a well sealed, secure, and nearly permanent plug.
And that guy on ebay called me an "expert", he has no idea how much back up I got. Thanks Rick PS: I'll be sure to post an after picture

Re: Replacing the drain plug
I guess my tube of 5200 wasn't mixed up right cause it dripped for hours. *It says that is cures in the tube even with the cap on but the tube I have has been opened for almost 2 weeks and it is still runny.
Leave it to me to get a bad tube of 5200.
