Hello;
Been searching for a while, I would like to know where I could find the original front drain tube for a 1983 18' Outrage. Mine slipped out of its hole and now I have no drain tube and a lot of water in the hull (the boat had been in the water for a month). I've heard from a few people around here to try to find the original one (with the bulge on the tube), and cannot find it (or don't know where to look for it). Any recommendations will be very appreciated!
Thanks,
Quito

Quito,
The drain tube in the bow locker of the Outrage 18 is a 1" diameter length of brass tubing. You can but this many places. You will need to be able to flare the end of it after you slide it into place and since you will be flaring one end, you may as well flare both ends, thus you do not need to buy a preformed length of tubing.
One good place to order the brass tubing is McMaster-Carr (

More information of drain tube installation can be found here:
