Replacing drain tube on 1983 Montauk

Member Posts: 26 Comments: 0 Joined: 05/27/08	I was going over my 1983 Montauk this evening (trying to get it in for the season after cold winter & no so warm spring) . I noticed the flange on the brass drain tube had corroded. This is the outside facing flange for the center channel drain as it exits the hull. Is there a recommended method to remove the rest of the tube in the hull? Also, what is the recommended method to install a new tube? Appreciate any advice on this as this is the original drain tube. Thanks-Steve

There is also a comprehensive explanation in the article section of this web site under "installation instructions". Read those sections and if any further detail is needed ask away.
