Yup I would just find a plug. If you screw up the threads they arent that expensive. I sell them for $5.

Walmart has the expanding rubber plugs for $4, not sure if it will seal completely.... Otherwise order it from nick.

I always thread them in before driving.

i bilge plug should work, boat dept from local hardware store....

i have a bilge plugs in the hole where my vts used to go thru the hull... it has been in for a year...

basically you just get the right size, pop it in, screw to expand, then pop down to give it that last bit of extra grip.. done deal... then buy a replacment, used, cheap.
