i have the same problem on my hobbie what i did is i just bought a wood hand saw and saw the side of the pipe just enough to follow the curvature of the hull, then i use goop to fill in the seam. i took a marker mark the inside diamiter of the pvc to where you want to install it, then take the goop put a good size bead just ouside of the mark you just did, put the pvc on top of the goop press and smooth out the excess and let it dry, then do a leak test just fill it with water. and i use a rubber cap that i screwed my tran on it havent leak or looses water going on for 3-4 months now.
