I too am intrested in this. I have cut a small hole in my transom to get at the fitting that the cockpit drain hose attaches to. The bottom metal fitting is corroded and leaking. It makes more sense to me to remove it, fiberglass the hole it was in, (on bottom of boat '76 M17) and run the new fitting out the transom, making sure it's below the cockpit floor level. Anyone out there have a recommendation as to what the new fitting should be?

I have read with interest the past bits about through hulls and how to maintain or repair. Does anyone have any specifics on how to retro fit an older m-17 to the new model that drains directly throught the transom?

seems like the best answer, and after all, I do need a winter project. I have lots of experience with both epoxy and poly resins. Dik Lang m-17 #375
