Default Deck drains
As I was washing the V20 I noticed that my deck drain in the back of the boat is busted. Does anyone know where to get a replacement drain/fitting that will fit a 1989 v20? I'm having some trouble finding one that fits.
Thanks guys!
-Jim

I've been looking for exact replacement for my '84. Had to settle for the mushroom type that leave about a 1/4 inch puddle.

I saw those at west marine yesterday. I guess I will have to settle for that and do the same thing you did.
Thanks!

i used a brass version of a drain similar to this one. it is a bar drain for small sinks. i had to go to a local plumbing house. i also had to cut off the threaded nipple on the bottom to get it higher than the thru hull.

Phat, I like yer bar sink drains....specially the lift out baskets...

I took a lil different approach and got the drain fittings off the floor and went to 1 1/2 openings for better drainage...

I have a set of those in the shop...gotta get them put in.

Did they solve the "wet floor at rest" problem Reel?

Plugged the old holes w/4200 and round plastic disk...trimmed the 4200 after the picture was taken...to date NOTHING has clogged up in them which the original floor drains are notorious for...
