[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Through-Transom Drains

[Ware, Joseph W.]

Brad, mine look to be part of the initial build-up.  They do not look like
they are replaceable.  That is without drilling them out and starting from a
hole.  I have a 1986 vintage boat.

Joe, one of my cockpit drains was cracked and leaking
water in the lazeret.  When I checked the other one
and the thru-the-hull drains they were all hard and
brittle.  The closest thing I have here to a West
Marine is BassPro shop so that's where I bought the
replacements.  I went one size larger and replaced the
hose with the next size up in clear so I can see any
obstructions.  You can go back with the original size
but I would defintely chose a straight rather than
tapered fitting either way.  The drains are
inexpensive and easy to replace, just be sure and buy
a good marine grade sealant and bed them thouroughly.
