plug lining

Ok, I get it, I thought it looked like a regular bolt. I was even thinking I could make a tool to compress it. I easily removed the scupper drain tubes they were not cracked, and seemed fairly solid but needed to be replaced as the top flange was gone and they appear to be original. I picked up new 1" brass tubes at Nauset Marine and they slid in perfectly. I am now thinking I will also replace the bilge drain and the fish box drain while I'm at it. Make sure everything is water tight!
