The hole was hogged out, filled with epoxy and microballoon putty, then a larger PVC thin-walled DWV pipe was inserted and trimmed with a flush cut saw. The cream colored PVC matched so that no gel coat work was required. Although the opening is only 3/8th inch larger, it can flow a lot more water and sits 3/8" lower in the splash well.

Then you tap it out and into the splash well. Both of the drains had a skim coat of caulking and there was no balsa damage.

I removed all the fittings from the deck and transom as part of my balsa core repairs. This is just to show how I removed the splash well brass through hull fittings to check for rot. I used a cold chisel to tap the lip in. First, at 90 degrees around the edge to form a four leaf clover, then an eight petal flower, etc., until the lip is pushed inside of the hole.
