I have two Diablo green lights since my boat has dual plugs. I love them.

Looking at the diablo brass threads look fine not course, will it fit in a standard black plastic T-H plug or do you have to replace it with a brass 1/2" NPT drain assembly?

Not sure if you're talking about a live well or boat drain plug.

I had a "remote" drain plug switch installed on my boat. Love it. I fish all year, so, especially in the winter, it saves crawling on the cold, wet boat ramp... in the dark. cool
Also, if you ever forget your drain plug, you don't have to re-trailer your boat or jump in the water to put it in.

Chris at Classic Fiberglass in Denton installed it. Freakin' love it. lol

I never pull my drain plugs except in the winter. I have two automatic bilges and keep the trailer jacked all the way up.

I'm referring to these below. As for that remote drain plug it seems like a cool idea but I've talked to more than one boater that has had it fail on them...

Most guys just wire it into a rocker switch
