The boat drain tube with an integral leak detector provides an audio and/or visual alarm to indicate the presence of a water leak within a drain of a boat. The boat drain tube includes a hollow, cylindrical tube having opposed first and second open ends, and first and second hollow, cylindrical electrodes rigidly mounted therein. The first and second hollow cylindrical electrodes are axially spaced apart from one another to define an electrically nonconductive gap therebetween. An alarm, an electrical power source, and the first and second hollow, cylindrical electrodes are connected in series to define a circuit open at the gap. The alarm may be an audio alarm, a visual alarm (such as lights, light emitting diodes or the like), or a combination of audio and visual alarms. When water enters the gap between the first and second hollow cylindrical electrodes, the circuit closes to activate the alarm.
