Super Jet smallest drain plug???

[Frosty]

so what is the smalled drain plug out there? I'm thinking about installing some sort of drain in the transom of my new hull, but have limited space so size needs to be small...

I'm running poly foam, so water absorbtion is not an issue, but I still want a way to drainn out any water that does make it in...

I used an M6 nut epoxy-glued to the inside of the hull when I did my refoam. I have a very low-profile allen-head screw on the outside, thats all. Feel free to have a look at my build (link below).

Yeah I used an M8 allen head bolt. I drilled and tapped a bit of 12mm plate and epoxyed it to the inside of the hull. Then just put an o ring under the bolt head and it won't leak.

i found an awsome shop for hydraulics here in germany where i bought the pieces. you can buy everey fitting you can imagine out of every material you can imagine there!
my drain plug is a bulkhead fitting with a o-ringed plug. i taped the plug and loctiteted a bolt with a washer into it for security so i can´t loose it (the bolt will hold the plug because it does not fit trough the bulkhead fitting)

here`s the link, maybe you have a similar shop overseas:

I just picked these up from ACE hardware and they seem like they will work good. I just used them to put sponsons on my couch. A little 5200 and I dont think its going anywhere

Until it spins loose when you cant get the screw plug out..... Thats why i flatted each side of mine and made them a press "hammer" fit.

I had to hammer these in to get them in. It's hard to see with the camera from my phone. But I put these on my couch and jumped on one of them to see if it would pop out and it was in there.
