through hull drain tubes in the floor
the tapered lip of the brass drain tube that comes out on the bottom of the boat has eroded and no longer exsists. I have not been able to find out how the heck to replace that tube myself. Haven't even been able to locate a drain tube that long. Plus. . . been told that even if I can find the tube, I would need a special tool to make the lip once I fit the tube through the hull.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using a "t" drain plug from the bottom (up) to stop water from entering the bilge. However, the water pressure at that drain plug when I'm running will probably start openning up that hole if I wait too long.
OH! And. .. Does anyone know "WHY" SEACRAFT glassed electical wires for the navigation lights into the cap?!?! Just curious! Seems very impractical!
thanks
