[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Through-Transom Drains

[Eaton, Gil]

	Hi Joe,
	I've been keeping the Hardware stores in business with hose
purchases for the two cockpit seat drains.  The original hose looked like
1-1/2" ID flex hose, so I have bought 1-1/2" Spa Hose (too stiff, won't
compress enough), 1-1/4" clear hose, from a roll (pretty flat, what was I
thinking??), finally will try 1-1/4" swimming pool suction hose when I can
clear a path in the snow.  I measured the fittings with an open end wrench,
one is almost exactly 1-1/4", one is a bit larger.  This is for a 1993
boat....
	Good Luck,
	gil

Ok, I'll try.  Has anyone replaced these?  Mine are tapered and the hose
constantly comes off with only the slightest bump.  Like when I was pushing
a tube cleaner through to get the snow through yesterday.  The other thought
I had, was to build them up with fiberglass until they are straight, then
use a larger hose.
