how to close off drilled holes for bulkheads

I am thinking about going back to FW and want to close off the drains on my 125. What would I use to do this?

I actually did this once. I kept the bulkheads in, but put threaded caps or plugs in them. Worked perfect. I actually went so far as to cut out my overflo box while I was at it. Exacto knife and some patience. Good Luck.

Yep.. buy some caps to plug the bulkheads.

I did the same exact thing.

Threaded if you can to save the bulkheads if you ever decided to change it back.
