I hope you got all the broken parts of the tube out - if you didn't they are floating round in your cambox.....
People have been using a marine transom plug - if you use the search function you will see many pictures and a couple of alternatives..... heres a description from one of the posts by The Radium King.

It's a 1" diameter rubber puck with a flat washer on each side. a bolt runs through the puck and joins the two washers. as you tighten the bolt the washers come together and compress the puck. the compressed puck squeezes outwards and seals the plug in the tube.
