Replacing the drain plug

[macojoe]

You can replace the plug with a screw in type as the pic as long as there is enough space to screw to?? The tubes use a larger hole so you may be forced to use new tubes.

Lots of 5200 on the new install, and what a budy just told me was he ran a strong string thur the tube with a piece of wood tied to it.

Wood on the outside string tied to something tight in the boat, this will hold the tube in tight till 5200 drys!

As for scupers I let some one who no's, I have never owned a pair.

Thanks for the reply.
Rubber plug in drain was no big deal, scuppers were main thing. Screw type drain just looked a lot better.

Where to buy the tube(s)? West Marine? Stick with brass?

The old tubes were flared over transom on both ends.
Of course new tube will neeed to be straight on one end to insert in hole.
With 5200 applied right, is it nessasary to try to flare other end of tube (tight inside bilge)?

Thanks.

You can see old scupper in this gallery photo, and also see why I am cleaning up transom (while swapping the '75 135hp for '83 175hp).
