BOW also sells a flaring tool just for that purpose. You'll have to change out the 3/8 bolt that comes with it, though. It's only made to go through up to a 3' transom, and you'll need a 7" bolt to do the vertical deck-to-hull scuppers.
DO NOT count on the tubes being annealed. I put mine in and one of them cracked while being flared.
