If you want to make the brass drain tube problem go away permanently, get a length of 3/4-ID fiberglass tubing from McMaster Carr. Using a hole saw, drill out both ends to the tube OD. Fit it as needed and glass it in. Problem solved permanently. I’ve done this to five Boston Whaler boats I have own...

I’ve done this to all the whalers I have owned(5).

I prefer the wire rope and pulley steering system on the 13-footer because it is very responsive and the design is classic. I bought a spool of the wire rope. I replaced the wire rope whenever the vinyl jacket started cracking.
