Jorgerivadeneira Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Does anyone know where I can get the little plastic seal that goes in the hole for the bilge drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 That is an entire discharge fitting, it is held on by a threaded plastic nut. You have to be able to access it in order to change it out, there is no separate plastic seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll go ahead and take pics when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your boat typically 3/4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim33042 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I had to replace mine a couple of months ago On 1/30/2019 at 11:30 AM, jim33042 said: Replaced broken plastic bilge thru Hull with stainless - 18 Bayfisher I wanted to post this as I spent what seemed like hours looking in the forum and never found anything on a replacement - but found some great posts along the way! Access was through a hole I had previously made in the battery compartment for installing lifting eyes on transom. Used a screw in 4” deck plate for recover. Had to remove hatch, battery and deck plate housing to get enough leverage to reach and work on it. Fitting was partially broken on outside of hull. Once I had my hand on the fitting a very small turn to left and right and the fitting fell apart. inside pic of old fitting. Outside pic Stainless replacement I used a stainless thru Hull fitting with a screw on composite 90 degree fitting setup as this looked as close to the original hole measurements and the cast stainless fittings that were out there made me believe I might have had to step drill out the original hole, which I was really trying to avoid. After removal of old fitting and excess sealant, there was more clearance than what I believed and the hole was maybe large enough for a cast stainless 90 degree fitting, but I’m happy with the result and notably the last time I should be worrying about it.

Drummer Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Double clamp that hose! If a single clamp fails, you'll wish you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Good point Drummer. And by the book, just as Drummer mentioned, double clamps and the clamps turnbuckles should be 180 degrees of each other also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
