[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 498452, member: 15636"] Whaddya mean? Buy that Moeller drain assembly ... last one I bought co$t me $6. And install yourself using a home-made DIY flaring tool, see photos. I've done dozens of the brass transom thru-hull drains and a few drain plugs using this idea. None leaked ...

Lube or grease them and the threads too, before torqueing. [/QUOTE]
