[Rhodes22-list] Stern drain hoses

[Graham Stewart]

If you decide to enlarge the drain hoses make sure the new larger fitting
can be installed into the cockpit easily. In my case the cockpit fitting was
installed in a drain area that was depressed to collect water. Unlarging the
hole might not allow for the larger thru-hull fitting. In my case I was
doing fairly major repair to the deck anyway so I filled the depression and
created an opening that allowed me to install flush mounted "scabbards". I
did the same for the cockpit floor drain. I found that the mushroom capped
thru-hulls never allow all the water to drain out and that pools leaves
stains. 
I have attached picture of what I did. This would be overkill in most
situation and require that the whole cockpit be repainted if appearance is a
priority but in the end I liked the results and others might be interested.

I agree as well.  Since you are working on it, consider what i did.  Order
new through hulls and hoses to match.  Its all above waterline so you can
use inexpensive fittings.  A good time to up your diameter as Graham did.
