guys…all I did was cut the drain hole large enough to drop in a SS kitchen sink drain…
used a little plumbers putty under the flange edge on the top on the drain…
used the gaskets provided with the drain assembly…and voila…a drain…
it is almost flush with the table inside…1/16" higher tan the table bottom…no nuts in the way…no gaskets to cut…no marine epoxy…it is all stainless…cheap and easy…it also gives me 1-1/2" drain capacity…drains like a toilette bowl almost.
