oh man...don't know why the picture won't show up??? Does anyone know why?

I have a 7hp ESKA. It is in air cooled two stroke. I used it for 20+ years on my 16ft semi V Richline. I went to a 15 HP motor so I don't use it anymore. It has been garage kept for the entire time I have had it. Last used it 2 years ago and ran good then. FYI, I live in East Central...

ok...I'm trying a stainless steel t-bar style rubber compression screw plug for now...I'm not giving up on a threaded water tight steel or brass plug. thanks everyone for the tips.

Hello all...I'm new to the tin boats forum. I have an older Richline aluminum boat I've been using for 25 years. This boat has a threaded drain plug hole. I have been using a standard brass t-handle twist type plug which creates compression of rubber from both sides of the hull. It works...
