Codfish, you are correct.
Spin Weld plugs are the plugs that Triumph uses to seal any access hole that are uesd to install foam in the transom of are boats. A 1 3/8" hole saw is used to drill the hole. You use a router with a spin weld arbor to install the plugs. The router spins the plug fast enough to create enough friction to melt the plug and base area together. The base area and plug need to be cleaned with primer or acidtone before spinning them together. Spin then long enough to see melted poly pro and some smoke befor stopping the router, and do not remove the router and arbor before the melted poly pro has hardened.
After drilling the holes I used duct tape and a 1" hose and hooked it to my wet/dry vac and removed the water from the void areas. Like I told you before if I have to do it again I will look for some kind of a removable water tight plug. I also think that you can use elastomeric sealent to install the plugs with out spin welding them. I have not tried that yet, and I don't recommend doing that untill I try it.
You can get the spin weld plugs from your dealer. If they dont have them in stock then they can order them from Triumph. They may be able to get the arbor also but they are hard to come by.
I hope that this clears up things. Good Luck, Bob
