Whaddya mean? Buy that Moeller drain assembly ... last one I bought co$t me $6. And install yourself using a home-made DIY flaring tool, see photos. I've done dozens of the brass transom thru-hull drains and a few drain plugs using this idea. None leaked ... Moeller Drain Assembly Moeller's...

... and here I thought it was a Three Stooges 'Water Letta Outta' ... :ROFLMAO:

Cool info MBullen! (y)

Yup, same here ... added one of these Moeller drain plug kits to the transom, aside the knee, on the hull I had. That when you can drain the hull whilst up on plane :cool: ...

At the stern on the hull bottom? I had an old Forget-Thy-Name-Brand tin hull that had a drain like that, including that large 1/2-rim around it.

.. also to prevent them from FREEZING and popping off the hull, if exposed in cccccold Winters below freezing! You know water will get in there, even if merely by condensation if truly closed up.

Take a look at the picture I posted here, you can get some material, bend them up to fit, and add yourself ... https://www.tinboats.net/threads/aluminum-boat-hull-flexing-twisting.49935/#post-493417

$300? You STOLE it!

Next year ... place mothballs around in plastic containers in a few places ... Note there must be enough for it to be noxious for you to be around it, for them to work.

Not at all, as long as not bearing on something that'll break. Be aware, some motors come equipped with an interim trim/tilt position called "shallow water drive" that tilts it up enough to keep water flowing into the lower unit for cooling, and keep the prop in the water, but hopefully to get...

FWIW a 50:50 mix of acetone & automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is the BEST penetrating solvent evah ... but you might have more serious issues ...

You really need to define the length you want. I will say I had a Lund Tyee 18' and the gunnel height was to my mid-thigh, MUCH taller than any other 18' tin boat in its size. It was also a deep-V hull and some Tyee lengths are double-hulled at the front, for strength. But I would not raise the...

Uhhhhhh ... did ya' call Alumacraft at all????????????????????

Lay an old or scrap piece of hose there?

Good on you!

On boats we call them 'jump seats' ...

Lookie here: Huge INDEX to old aluminum & fiberglass boats!

No problems there ... it sure won't be as pretty if it said 'Mercury', and may not survive trailering due to the loose fit (unless sercured with bungees) but Attwood Marine sells 'generic' OB motor covers out of heavy-duty canvas that fit sizes. I was them every season, to clena off salt spray...

Sounds to me like CHEAP material was used for the decals, where they did not use UV-resistat/proof vinyl. I also use acetone to prep the area. And now use canvas motor covers on all my OB hoods/coalings. Here's some tips from Pappy, where he 'clear coats' over decals - see: Repainting cowlings
