Re: Deck Drain Frustrations!
Not sure if this helps but.....I replaced brass drain tubes on my Whaler years ago. Brass tubing from McMaster Carr. The ends to be flanged have to be annealed first. They form easy after this. Heat cherry red with torch and immediately quench in water. This keeps them from splitting. Form one end in shop. Insert and cut XXX (3/16"-1/4") longer then anneal. Insert in boat and form flange. The tool works ok, 2 guys w/hammer and tow ball work better.
