I got 2 brass motor well drain tubes. Also a Brass tube with plug for the transom to drain hull.
The motorwell drains need to be flaired on one side. I found this on another sit that showes a home made flaring tool.
Did you all epoxy the holes and then insert the drain tubes or did you use a sealant like 3M 5200.

Interesting tool, I think I'll give it a try on my Malahini. On the 3 I have on the Sea Knight, each had one side that came flared already, so I used that for the outboard side. I scuffed up the outside of the brass drain tubing and epoxied them all in place. No issues...they haven't moved or loosened or leaked a bit. I didn't flare the inside side of the tube. Good luck.

YOu could also use a good old fashioned lug nut on a bolt.

I epoxied the cut out hole with two coats and then slid the tubes in on the third coat of epoxy.

The best part about a manual screwdriver is not needing to remember if you left it in reverse.

Completion is but one step in the process and not one bit more important than the others.
