I got a piece of 1" PVC and cut the bell off. * It is the same size as the nipple , I cut it at 45 degrees and then split it. *This let me compress it to get it in and it expanded to fit when released.I then coated the outside with marine tex. I was going to use JB, but the marine tex is a little stiffer and one of the holes is on the bottom. I,m letting it cure tonight and I'll check it for leaks tomorrow. I'll let you know if it works. *$7.00 Marine Tex vs, $350.00 tank. It's a 84 cuddy with the standard belly tank.
