Quick Fix! Rubber expansion plugs. Add some Teflon tape on body of plug if not snug enough.

In reply to Steve. I had the same thing happen. I used JB-Weld plastic bonder to secure the plug permanently in the hole. I use a shop vac at the end of the season to remove as much water as I can from the bottom of the housing base. Even though I am in the northeast and temps get down below freezing, I have not had any issue with housing cracking from water expansion. May be worth a shot before buying a new housing.

In reply to Steve. Your out of luck. If you can go online to eBay or Amazon and see if you can locate a new housing base.

Thanks

When I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment. Is there a way you are able to remove me from that service? Thanks!|

I just drill a small hole through the center of the broken plug and use a standard bolt removal “easy-out” bit. It takes 2 minutes with no risk of damaging the housing threads.
