Hi,

I've read a lot of the pros / cons of the brass drain tubes vs PVC.

My 1987 17 Montauk's splashwell tubes are looking tired.

Has anyone removed the tubes, and coated the exposed transom with a thin layer of fibgerglass cloth and epoxy and then covered with gelcoat?

Seems like a fairly easy way to permanently address this issue.

I realize this wont work for the primary transom drain that goes to the sump, but don't see why it wouldn't work for the splashwell drains.
