Splashwell drain hole tubes

[bob johnson]

A while back I cam across a thread where a guy has found new tubes that you install in the splashwell holes....and then there is a tool to roll the edge over and make it waterproof.....anyone know a source??

thanks

I used a ball peen hammer, look at my thread post #58 for pics of the end result. Might save you some money.

Yeap 1" is the standard size drain tube. Make your own flange tool and be sure to get 3 drain tubes just in case.

I bought the moeller flange tool and the drain tube here on i-boats.. It worked great for me..
The instructions tell you to put the curved flange facing each other when creating the flange.. That did not work for me on the first time..
Had to turn the curved piece around so the flat side was against the already formed flange on the tube.. Then it worked great.. It was worth the money..

Is there a video out there of this being done? Ive read these instructions a lot, but Im more of the visual learner. I have a feeling I will be tackling this job in the coming weeks.
