Forward drain and thru hull replacement

I have a 78 F -32 express. I noticed my forward drain plug thru hull is leaking. I was wondering what thru hull I need. I was looking at Perko 363DPOPLB. I'm just not sure it's long enough. What do you guys recommend? Thanks again for all the input.

Black water tank location

This may be a dumb question but. I have a 78 F-32 Express. I was looking into the plumbing system trying to track down everything.I found everything but shore water and Black water tank. How do I know if the boat even has a black water tank? Someone put in a porta potty with a drain hose on it but I...

Re: FAULTY SHORE WATER HOOKUP?

My freshwater tank is just aft of the v-birth below the floor. No dock side water that i could find. As for the shower pump. I can hear it and ...

I agree. It's not simple. Could you replace it all the way to the faucet with something like this. This is a Lav by 3/8". They make them by toilet too.

Re: Plumbing Questions

FYI. In general tube is measured on the outside and pipe is measured on the inside. Then there is pex its a little off. I just have not ever used or seen 1/4" PEX. The other sizes (3/8" 1/2" 3/4" 1") are going to be easier to get all the fittings and adapters.

Re: Plumbing Questions

I would go with Pex. I am a plumber by trade. FWIW. You should have 3/8" to lav. kitchen and head and 1/2" to shower. Get the brass fittings because they hold up better. Also go with the copper crimp rings not the tin. Shark bites are ok in a pinch but it is a mechanical device. All mechan...

Wow those look great. I'm going to use those valve covers too. They seal up really good and look great.
