[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Through-Transom Drains

[Kroposki]

Joe:
     If the thru hulls are o.k. why not just epoxy (glue) the hoses to
the tapered fittings?  Then use a water hose clamp on top.  Mine are
just held on with water hose clamps.

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.
