Hannah Jones McVey Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 We accidentally left ours at a pump out point and when we returned it had gone. Struggling to work out how to replace it. The hole is 5.5cm at the top and 5 in the screw area. Any advice gratefully received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have to put up with one incorrectly labelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater Sam Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 A standard BSP 1 1/2" iron plug fits perfectly, from any plumbers suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess-- Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Mines brass (both cap and hole) but I have recently seen one that had an aluminium cap in a steel hole. the boat had been laid up for a while (being refitted) and even a lump hammer and chisel weren't opening that fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
