Drain stoppers for fish box & ice chest

[SmokyMtnGrady]

Hey Yall,
This summer I was in the Keys and I lost one of those rubber stoppers you insert into the overboard drains in the ice chest fish box on the boat. I went to the Grady dealer in Islamorada and they didn't carry that style . I have been to Lowes as well.

So, in mid 2000s Gradys they used a tapered rubber stopper in those drains. I can't seem to find a source for them. The Grady dealer sold me a smaller screw type stopper with a looped handle . They are too big. Do any of you have a source for these stoppers? It's not mission critical at the moment but I would like to replace them before next spring. Thanks
Bobby

Mcmaster Carr online? That place is like a candy store for stuff like this

Also... Google "baitwell plug". The kind I'm thinking of has a flip down handle to enlarge the rubber and secure the rubber. Would that work? Lot's of marine stores carry that.

Probably not what you want,
but meanwhile you could use a few wraps of rubber splicing tape around the too small plug, did this several times and it worked reasonable well.
I am looking for two plugs for the bow fishboxes and i'm stuck with the same problem but did not searched enough.

If you know the size you need you can but a pack of the same size.

I have been getting my stoppers at Ace hardware. They are in the section with the small drawers with the specialty hardware.
