I have a 19' cc and upon winterizing, I could not loosen the brass drain plug... I sprayed some wd, crc, fogging oil on the threads, but it wont budge... its been in since june. its at the point where the head of the nut itsself is starting to turn, but not the threads, meaning it can possibly twist and break off, leaving the rest with the threads in permanently...any thoughts? is it bad it leave about 1-2 inches of water in the bilge over the winter?
