You can also sleeve the drain hull with a PVC pipe. Make the drain hull slightly larger, epoxy hot coat the hole, rough up the PVC and then use thickened epoxy to bed it into the hole. You can use thin wall so you don't lose any rate of flow and you won't have to worry about a leaking brass tube again.
This is essentially how it's done (OEM) on our 19 Outrage II (1992), using moulded pvc through-drains. I like the looks of the bronze, but I prefer the no-maintenance pvc. These appear to be bedded with something like Life-caulk, but the method blindhog suggested above is probably superior.
