Replacing Brass Drain Tubes?

STeveZ · Post by **STeveZ** » Jan 27th, '10, 16:43

I need to replace several of these deck hatch drain fittings.

Are they for sale anywhere?
Are they easily made w/ a ball bearing and a big hammer?
Is there some other fitting that has superseded these?

Thanks as always for your help.

Got a flaring tool?

Standard copper tubing with a flare.

I made some out of PVC pipe and a couple of flanges.

Pvc pipe faired in with epoxy will last longer.

The best tubes are 1" transom tubes used on outboard boats with drain plugs. They are available everywhere including WEST. The flange is thin and the tube is stainless. The thin flange makes draining the water better. A thick flange leaves water around the edge. I have tried many different things and this type of flange is the best.
