[QUOTE="thill, post: 495075, member: 4972"] Sure. That's not a bad idea at all, if the plug alone doesn't work. And if the threads aren't right, you could put a little oil on it and make some nice threads. Not sure how much a tap that big would cost, but HFT would probably be the place to get it. The only thing about my previous advice is on my boat with the bottom plug, you could not get to it from the bottom because there was a clamshell-like fitting under it. It was made so that when you are running at speed, you can pull the plug and any water in the bilge will get vacuumed out. I used it to get residual rain water out. I like a dry bilge! But in his case, he said he could screw it in from the bottom, so either the clamshell can be removed, or he has a different type of fitting under there. [/QUOTE]
