[QUOTE="marshman, post: 324467, member: 12129"] grind the rivets, take it out, patch the hole with a piece of aluminum , and get a fitting like mentioned on the other drain plug thread and put it in the transom... thats what i would do... to patch, cut out a piece of aluminum bigger than the hole, at least an inch or 2 all around, scuff sand everything all around the hole and the patch....use a good 2 part epoxy....locktite makes a pretty decent one, jb weld makes one, but an industrial supply store would have some thats better...(i live and work in the land of heavy industry, so industrial supply stores are all over) put the patch down to where it overlaps evenly all around, and set a full paint can or cinder block on it while it cures overnight or longer..... later fill the patch in from the outside to make it flush using the regular jb weld like you would use bondo on a car...give that a day or 2 to cure and you can sand it smooth.... patch may not last a lifetime, but it will last for a good while...
