[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 476072, member: 15636"] There's enough info in here to buy a $7 drain plug kit from Moeller Marine and put it in yourself! See: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=37364&p=389254 The 'trick' to using the homemade flaring tool is to use the rounded end of the nuts to start flaring out the tube, even if you need to use a basic plain steel nut and file a chamfer on one end. Once the tube is flared a bit and has started[i] 'turning the corner' [/i](looking like a trumpet) reverse the nut so that the flat-edges form it up tight. [/QUOTE]
