We are planning to replace the deck scupper through hulls on Polaris. I remember reading a thread a while back about this, but can't find it now. Does anyone have any advice on replacements? We are thinking of going with marelon rather than brass. We don't want to replace them with cheap plastic.
Also, does anyone know if the ones that exit the hull just above the waterline are 90 degree or straight? They look like they are 1 1/2" hose. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Della
They are 90 degrees 1 1/2". I went with a bronze replacement.

You could contact Dale now that he has a Marine supply outlet.

We ordered bronze thru hulls to replace the original plastic ones from Dale. I'm going to feel a lot more comfortable with the new ones installed. Dale was able to get them for a good price and it was great dealing with someone knowledgable about the 365 especially since we are not. Thanks, Dale, for going above and beyond!

The through hull worked like a champ. Had to cut down the actual through hull on the port one behind the settee to get it to fit and provide clearance for the hose. Having the separate nut instead of having the tail pipe threaded to the fitting with a pipe thread was useful. No room to spin the tail pipe to screw it on and alignment would have been an issue.
Thanks Dale
