I was wondering how to go about changing the drain plug on an aluminum flat bottom jon boat.
the the channel that the boat plug goes in to is rather flared. Is there a way to fix the flared channel opening or make a whole new drain hole all together?
why do i want to do this? The drain plug doesnt seem to fit very tight and its hard getting the plug in and out due to the location of the hole. Cant tighten or loosen very well. I thought about putting the plug in from the outside of the boat, but the hole is a tad smaller than the plug. I thought about filing or cutting the opening a little bigger but am afraid of ruining it even more.
any thoughts or help?
