[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 510888, member: 24594"] till has the most popular solution. The Crestliner product typically works as these were common across many brands of boats. Previously known as a wet transom garboard drain, they originally came with a tall handle or even a spring-loaded handle that enabled bailing while under way. (Why they're in the floor) Perko was another common vendor but the modern machined plugs are great solutions as we now have bilge pumps. Beware there are two common diameters with different thread pitches. Usually it's a 3/4 npt, but 5/8 are out there, too. Edit: I see now you've mentioned a 1" diameter. I have to admit I'm unaware of that size machined plug. I've heard of folks using the npt-threaded plugs from food barrels, though. [/QUOTE]
