[QUOTE="Jimbo_in_NC, post: 332417, member: 12928"] Take your time when marking and cutting the tube. If it is not perpendicular to the transom it will not flare right. Length is also important. I have found marking the tube in place with a sharp pencil held against the transom works best for getting the correct amount of over run to flare. To much and the tube splits. Too little and it wont seal. I also change the bolts in both of my flare tools to fine thread. Less effort needed to flare the tube. [/QUOTE]
