Need some help.

[jtracc]

I have a 18' sting ray. The drain plug and flange is brass. I had some water get in the back from a rough day on the water. I tried to unscrew the 7/8" brass plug off and she wouldn't budge. I tried everything and couldn't get her off. Last resort was my impact wrench.. Ended tearing the whole flange and plug off the boat. So I was left with three holes that i fixed with some marinetex. My issue is I can't find another 7/8" flange and brass kit anywhere. If you know where please let me know.


Thank you

Ayuh,... Search up a Garboard Plug, 'n you'll find what yer lookin' for....

Btw,... Most Garboard Plugs are 1/2" pipe thread...

Can't find any 7/8". 1/2 won't work at all too small of a flange and oil tube won't fit through either. I can't believe no one makes 7/8" when it's on my boat.

Ayuh,.... The OD of 1/2" pipe threads is 'bout 7/8"....

Re: Need some help.

Threads need to be 7/8". OD is 2.5"

Re: Need some help.

seems to me that you already HAVE the piece you need... use some heat to get the plug out, clean it up, and reinstall it.
