Just picked up an old Richline 15 Aluminum boat that has a ~1” dia screw in drain plug. Unfortunately, the threads are mostly stripped. I can come up with some ready ways to plug it, but any advice on how to fix it back to something like original?
Is it a bronze plug ? If so, re tap the hole a size larger if threads are totally gone, the n get a bigger plug if there is enough room to go bigger. Often times just the first few threads are bad, if that is the case fetal the female half to clean up the current threads and go with a longer male plug. They are usually pipe threads, so don't let the actual dimensions throw you off.
