Hello, great forum and I can't wait to get my tin boat out for some fluke! Unfortunately my drain plug bung is holding me up.
The boat is a 1975 MirroCraft 16'. The boat didn't come with a drain plug, so I purchased your standard 1" plug. Well it won't fit, I cleaned out the hole, plug is loosened all the way and even threw some grease on it.
What has me stumped is the hole on the boat has ribbing on the inside of the hole all around it, and they run front to back. It looks factory, or someone took a round file and screwed my hole over.
Do I take a 1" drill bit and run it through the hole? Other people with these boats, what does the hole look like and what kind of plug does it take?
I'll try and take a picture later. I have my water pump kit, and after that is done this is the only thing keeping me off the water!! Please, any help will be appreciated!!
