Went and picked up some EZ outs. Will give it a try when the wind dies down so I can get my cover off.

you can find them with a quick search of google images for brass drain petcock OR you can support your fellow oso member and buy them here.

I could be wrong but the brass wing plug looks like a tapered pipe thread. How is that going to fit a hole tapped for 1/2-13?

They both leak and I need to get them fixed before I take the boat out. How can I get this broken chewed up one off that is below the engine. Its just getting more chewed up the more I try to remove it. Any ideas??

This happened to me one time on a 502MAG. I took a drill bit slightly larger than the hole in plug, pushed it in the plug, and was able to twist out by hand the threaded barrel piece left in place......
