Just take the old off, fill screw holes, Coat the inside of the hole with 5200, again put pleanty on the ne tube and hammer it in, Let dry it dry for a day or two, to insure it is dry and tight!!

The tube is long when you get it, I had a buddy saw it in half the same thickness of the transom, then when he pushed it in, and held it tight, someone hammer the inside over against transom to insure it stays.

I used 5200 on every screw, bolt and everything that fastened to my hull . It works very well for me. I even put it on the rubber O ring when mounting the gimble back on the transom. Probley catch hell if I ever have ta take it off. Dont have ta worry about it leaking though!

Cleaning up transom here, and I like the look of the new drain.

With my '73 Center Console, the drain and both scuppers had the brass inserts, and all three are bad. Looks like same brass insert is used in all three locations. Each scupper had a rubber flap attached to outside transom with a single screw above. Did not close well.

What 3 parts are recommended as replacements?
Brass tubes again, with rubber plug for drain? Or Drain like photo above, and modern scupper? Part #'s and sources would be great help!

Thanks,
Rob
