Drain plugs on pontoons

[wendell42]

On my pontoon boat I have 1/2" plastic plugs at the bottom to drain any water from them. I need to replace them as one is cracked. I know I can't put stainless or galvanized one in there as it will react with the aluminum. Can I put either brass or bronze ones in without creating a problem with the metals reacting?? If not, where can I get some more plastic ones??

Thanks!!

Most any hardware store has plastic (pvc) 1/2" plugs
Put a little pipe joint compound on the threads.
Do not overtighten
Happy sailing
