Has anyone pulled these and/rebed them in sealant?
I noticed yesterday my center drain thru hull could be spun by hand which left me to believe the sealant is probably shot.

Thanks Not looking to replace just to seal the loose one. How do they come out? Did you put sealant on the threads and backside of each of the flanges?

Okay they just unscrewed apart. The sealant had totally failed. It was damp in there. Cleaned the hole out as best I could (that transome is THICK) applied sealant to the threads and backsides of the flange and reinstalled. The others seem okay, still solid.

So funny you bring this up. Last trip offshore my front bilge pump came on more than unusual. I knew there was a breach of water somewhere. That center splash well drain tube was loose and leaking. Must have been occurring for a while inside the transom was all stained black from water dripping down that area. Also notice the inspection hatch on the port side was also leaking substantially. After having them in and out so many times when I installed the new transducer they began to fail. I am not going to replace the Splash well drains tubes with the same system I actually want to buy 3 through hull style fittings. They seal with a rubber gasket on each side and are threaded with a locking nut ON for the Outside. Do You Knowwhere I could pick up the rubber O-rings for the Splash well inspection hatch covers they're probably a 8 Inch O Ring.

I'd just buy new inspection plates. I noticed the one above my fuel tank seems to be more soft.

There are several threads in here on replacing deck plates (inspection hatch) if you search. You probably just need to replace the o-rings. I found them to be as cheap or cheaper getting them directly from Beckson than a supplier, and you have OEM quality: beckson.com/dckplt.htmlI had same issue with my bilge pump running a lot offshore. It doesn't do it as much now but still more than I'd like, so I'm still trying to figure it out. I suspect water sloshing at the top of my livewwell and it possibly not being sealed well to the underside of the cap.

If your plate o-rings arent torn, I would just add some dialectic grease to them...

I just replaced all my inspection port gaskets, bought them from tackle direct for a few bucks a piece.

Anyone know the size for a 2860? I’m missing the one in the center.
