[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Through-Transom Drains

[Ware, Joseph W.]

The nipple off the inside of the transom is not long enouth for two clamps
due to the taper.  When it is flat enough (almost) for the clamp to hold,
it's a good .750 from the wall.  That's where I would need to build up the
taper to make is parallel, for a good hold, and second clamp.  Also there is
no ridge at the end of the fiberglass tube to stop a clamp from coming off.
Similar to a hose barb.

Joe,

Don't your hoses have hose clamps on them?  Each end of the hose should have
2 hose clamps.  With 2 tight hose clamps in place, bet they won't come off.
