Replacing the drain plug

You can replace the plug with a screw in type as the pic as long as there is enough space to screw to?? The tubes use a larger hole so you may be forced to use new tubes.

Lots of 5200 on the new install, and what a budy just told me was he ran a strong string thur the tube with a piece of wood tied to it.

Wood on the outside string tied to something tight in the boat, this will hold the tube in tight till 5200 drys!

As for scupers I let some one who no's, I have never owned a pair.

Thanks for the reply.
Rubber plug in drain was no big deal, scuppers were main thing. Screw type drain just looked a lot better.

Where to buy the tube(s)? West Marine? Stick with brass?

The old tubes were flared over transom on both ends.
Of course new tube will neeed to be straight on one end to insert in hole.
With 5200 applied right, is it nessasary to try to flare other end of tube (tight inside bilge)?

Thanks.

Transducer does not work well above 20mph.
Have moved it up and down, as well as several other places.
Had an old thread here when I mounted it about a year ago.

But, it might just be the hummingbird matrix 17 sucks.

EDIT: Just read above link again, and looked at photo.
We moved it.
It now is located on farthest outside step, (below the vents coming out the back), which is why it probably doesn't work above 20mph.

Any thoughts on scuppers for the '72 Center Console?
Stick with brass tubes (same as drain?) and rubber flap (hope not).

CPES is going in tomorrow (Sunday), then next weekend the Layup & Laminating Resin, with cap rebuild perhaps 4 days later. Hope to be in the water for fireworks weekend. (Transom was always rock solid, and surprised to see like new under old cap, but a few drilled holes along bottom were soft. Boat was pickled in warehouse for 15 years).
