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
