Bilge drain plug
 

I want to replace the expandable rubber plug type drain stopper currently used for the bilge drain on the 20 SF that I just bought. I seem to remember a thread several months ago discussing a top quality SS fitting that had a threaded plug on a "keeper" type device, but I can't find anything like that using the search function. Anyone remember that thread, or know what I'm talking about?

It was on my 23'. I could not reach the standard bilge plug since my boat is kept on a lift. The bracket install made access just about impossible. A stainless threaded drain was installed through the keel straight downn. This assembly works just great [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That's a pretty neat idea and solution, but the unit I was thinking about was in the standard location at the bottom of the transom and was accessible from the outside when the hull was out of the water.

Dan,
Are you referring to a garboard drain? like this example

This is what you are looking for...the shipping is expensive.

Roger, JW-Tex,

No, I think this is what I remembered seeing.

I found this on the Mako site earlier today. Not sure how good it is; doesn't look like it has a lot of thread on it, and there were no follow-up threads on the Mako site.
