Default Pontoon Boat Drain plug

"Dave" wrote in message

I recently purchased a nice used pontoon boat. Now I'm looking for the
3/8 plastic pontoon drain plugs. No one around me seems to have 3/8
plastic square head plugs. I'm near Kemah in Tx.

Any ideas on where to obtain these?


Does it look like a pipe plug? Maybe it is. If so try a hardware store
with a comprehensive plumbing department. DO NOT USE A BRASS OR GALVANIZED
PLUG IF IT SCREWS INTO AN ALUMINUM HOLE. Plain steel and brass both react
with aluminum. Worse comes to worse you can make some out of acetal delrin
if you can determine the correct thread pitch and type. Ok. I could make
some, or if you have a buddy who does machine work as a hobby he could make
some.
