Drain plug frozen and need to replace

[Ponr]

Hi my drain plug is tight and we PO has been somewhat rounded. I’ve tried a little heat and soaking PB blaster.

I’m just going to replace the entire assembly.

Does anyone know if it’s brass or bronze and size? Would 5200 be a good sealant when installing the new one?

Which model? Topic has been discussed previously. Use the search and enter plug, drain, etc keywords. I believe it is all fiberglass around it

It's bronze (or at least, it should be)

To remove the entire assembly, just remove the 3 screws (should be #8 screws) and you and push it out from the inside of the hull. It might have silicon/4200/5200 holding it in place.

Coat the new plug and threads with Tef Gel brand Teflon paste

Very useful

If the base of the Garboard still looks good and it's just the plug that is rounded and overtightened.....put a pipe wrench on it......put a extension on that if needed....

Get the plug out and replace it......Everyone should have a spare plug on board anyway. Hell they sell them at Walmart in boat/sporting goods section.

You could drill a small hole then a large larger one with drill in reverse or use an impact gun with short pulls on the trigger

Use a file to clean the plug sides
