I'm going to remove the livewell from the boat. I don't ever use it, and it takes up too much floor space.
The only real issue in removing it is dealing with the drain which runs thru the bottom of the hull.
Instead of removing the drain, and being left with a hole in the hull, I thought I'd just partially fill the fitting with 5200, drive a rubber plug down in it, and then add more 5200 to the top. Once the 5200 cures I'd just cut off the tube below the level of the floor and patch over it.
Is there a better way? Is 5200 the product to use for this (bonding rubber & vinyl)?
