On the inside of my boat the drain hole where I put my plug is bent like a battery was droped on it on an angle "v" I can not put the plug in from the inside or outside of the boat I have tryed beating it in but I dont think it will hold. I think the only way is to some how put something inside the hole that will bend it back out but what? This is a metle type tube that sticks out 'bout 1 inch inside the boat thanks for any help you can give me

Re: 14ft jon boat bent plug hole.

A tapered drift punch and hammer will do it, but you will have to support the back-side with something heavy, like 3/8" plate steel with a hole drilled in it (for the punch to be able to pass).<br />If it's like mine, the tube can be hammered-out also, and replaced with a new one, but then again, mine is a nylon tube.<br /><br /><br />------------------<br />I came, I saw, I Have No CLUE!
