Threading this brass nipple was serious work, my arm hurts. It would probably be a good idea to buy two nipples and throw the first one away after the monkey wrench tears it up making the threads in the fiberglass.

Was there a leak or problem that forced this issue?

I have had a leak there that let water into the area under the v-berth. When I got my boat last fall I noticed the teak wedge that reinforced the bow eye was rotted away... the first clue. The original drain is very small and prone to clogging as well.

"To cut or not to cut"?? Frank, I doubt that the forum software or decency rules will let me tell you what it will look like to other boaters... Cut it.

I took the boat to a Rabbi today and took care of it.

I didn't say to do THAT to it! (Actually, I did, and then edited it out.)
