[QUOTE="wihil, post: 275776, member: 6487"] If it's the one I'm thinking of (overflow drain), it's on the outside of the hull above water when moving, but could be below when stopped - correct? If so, I'd just leave the fitting on the hull, and cap it off from the inside. Removing it and trying to deal with sealing the hole after it's gone would be a PITA. If it's just left alone, and capped from the inside you'll see it but it won't leak (if done correctly). Short tube, barbed plug of the same size, and two hose clamps should do it. [/QUOTE]
