I agree .. it sounds as if you are talking about the transom plug. This is what the replacement looks like. The one in the cockpit is like a rubber cork with no screws. Here is a link to the one from intensity sails http://www.intensitysails.com/autobailer.html. If you look on the forum...

Which drain plug are you looking to replace? The one in the cockpit or the one in the stern? If it is the cockpit, I just did this on an old laser. There is a brass bushing between the deck and hull. Put a thickened epoxy in between first and then install the bushing. I bought a new...

I just refurbished a 78 laser. It had similar stains. I used Fantastick with bleach. Sprayed it with water, put on the fantastick and then let it sit for 5 minutes (long enough to start a beer) and then took a scrub brush to it. Then rinse it off and you will be surprised how it looks...

Hi, I am new to the laser but the one I just bought does not have a wind indicator. What tends to be the most common one and where does it mount? Also, the auto bailer came in a bag. Does it mount on the top side or below on the water side? Thanks.
