Hi all,

I have an old 14' Alumacraft boat. The boat does not have a water
drain plug so if I leave it on the trailer it fills up with water.
What I would like to do is add a drain plug to it. Has anyone here
ever done that?

Thanks,

Dave

I have not installed one before but it is an easy $13 fix.

What sort of screws would you recommend, Jim?
He doesn't want to use bronze or steel fasteners on that fitting or he
will soon have a drain hole on that aluminum boat a heck of a lot
bigger than he wanted. The fitting itself is plastic, which eliminates
the corrosion from that source, but it looks like it needs to be
fastened on with screws and that might be a concern unless carefully
and properly done.
