[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 367409, member: 5368"] they are swaged (expanded) in place so the easiest way to get them out is to crush them back down a bit so they fit back through the hole to do that, stick a sawzall through the drain and make a few slices from the inside almost through the wall of the drain tube to the rest of the transom. then crush the tube down with a pair of channel locks and slide it out. simple and should leave the hole undamaged so you can just swage a new one in place when you are done.
