    Drain tubes

    So I my drain plug tube broke off into pieces. I know I need to put one in. Can I operate the boat without one? When I put the plug in it seems like it’s tight and wont. come out. I’m gonna do my transom on the future so I don’t want to have to tap the new drain tube out when I do the transom
