I had the same problem on my Aquasport when refitting the deck drains recently. Not liking the price of the off the shelf options or the modifications need to refit some of the replacement units I found. I came up with a fix that works well, cost a couple of bucks and doesn't require any refitting modifications to what you already have. I found out that the gray fitting shown in the picture is specific to Marine and RV applications (Shower drain I think) given that it has a hose barb on the one end. However, Home Depot carries the same item in the electrical department in a sleeve vice barb configuration for only a couple of bucks. I took the sleeve and applied my 4" grander to rough up the exterior and make my own barbs. I then applied 5200 to the inside of the hose and two stainless hose clamps to make sure It will never separate again. Screwed in a shiny new SS deck drain off Ebay for 5.00 and I was good to go. Looks great and works identical to the original and didn't cost a fortune to boot.
