I just got an older Sunfish with the metal bailer. There is no plug in the bailer and the thread size is obviously not a standard size for my local hardware store. Since it doesn't have the ball seal incorporated into it, I am looking to just convert it to the new style to facilitate draining while underway.
Is the installation hole for the new assembly the same size as the old metal housing's hole? I don't want to wrestle this thing out only to find out I don't have the right sized hole for the new assembly. It appears to be in there fairly well also. Luckily, the metal ring that holds it in place is already gone but it appears to have some epoxy keeping it in place. Any tricks to getting it out?
