The V20 deck drain is a design problem. Mine were not broke but cracked so I sanded them down and ran about a quarter inch band of marine tex around the cracks and put them back in. I dont know if you can find the original drains anywhere. Frank

Wondering if Tuna is reading this thread. His scuppers were patched over and his deck drains into the bilge area. maybe that isnt a bad idea after all. Just as long you have two hard and fast working bilge pumps. :-/ ???

I had to replace mine 3 or 4 years ago, i used a drain for a small sink. i picked these up at a plumbing house they are called bar drains. they are brass and come with a brass stopper. the nipple on the bottom is too long and you have to cut it off so the 90*barb fitting will fit snug against the bottom of the drain. they work great, except they have no screen and stuff will get into them and have to be cleaned.

I bought a set of them myself, before finding my deck drains. Good job on the repair. ;)

I went to my local plumbing supply house, told the guy what I needed, and he gave me a 1" brass bar stop with an elbow and it works great.

These are some good ideas. I found some bronze fittings online that are flat like the original plastic ones that would let the water drain like the original.

I looked at those too RB, the only problem is I couldn't find them in the short version and the threads are about 3" long I think, so add that to the elbow and it was too low I think (at least for mine). I considered cutting them off, but then I figured the threads would burr and not screw into the plastic elbow again.

Man one of us should produce these things all over again and make a killing! Frustrating when something is so impossible to find!!

;D ;D
