| 803 | jpayne134 | garboard drain plug | 3/7/2006 10:02:00 | |
took delivery of a new 2320 sc lasy spring and enjoyed the boat all summer and fall. Lots of fish over the transom. When I pulled it and tried to open the bilge drain plug, it was frozen. So frozen that I had to remove both the plug and the seat from the hull. Even heating it in a vise with a torch I still couldn't get the plug free. The dealer offered me a USED plug !!! Nice gesture since a new plug from the same manufacturer costs $7.00. Anyway, the new plug is the same size but the fitting holes don't match up. Anyway, I have probably five hours into this nonsense that could have been avoided by the dealer using 5 cents worth of teflon tape. Go figure. Anyone out there switched plugs with plastic or is there something better than bronze Sea Dog ? | ||||
