    I installed the transom drain kit today.
    I made both flange fixtures on the lathe
    the same. First attempt in squashing it all
    together did NOT work….. all it did is flare
    the pre-flared end more.
    Then the tube was too short to re-flare, so
    I had to machine down the outboard fitting
    (spacer) thinner. Then used a hammer and dolly
    to start the new flare, then used my bolt,
    flange fixtures, etc., to draw it all together tight.
    I ended up using "Yamabond" for a sealant…..
    hope that wan’t a boo boo. Looks good,
    and the new drain plug fits nice.

    Prepare to be boarded!
