[Public-List] Cockpit drain fittings

[Stephen gwyn via Public-List]

Hi Mike,

I have a 1972 liner boat, #495. I don't like either the scupper
drains, or the T-fitting on the cockpit drains either. The scupper
drains always get plugged up with leaves in the winter, and when
the boat has just had its lee rail awash, the lowest point of the
rail is somewhat forward of the drain.

As far as I can make out, there are only two cockpit drain fittings.
A bronze item from Perko with a 45 degree angle at 250$ each or
a Marelon item (straight) for 30$. I'm inclined to the second. But
has anybody removed the existing molded in fibreglass fitting?
