Flush cockpit drain

[Hookup1]

Anyone know of a flush cockpit drain that has a removable flared top? Too hard to get under to tighten from the bottom. I would like to tighten down from the cockpit with hose already attached.

Look thru this mulptle places there are pix of fittings.

So, your cockpit drain has a 90 elbow 1- 1/2 to Barb to Female thread. You need to buy a deck drain flush fitting and cut off the barb and just use the thread.
Then you hold the female elbow (with hose alreay attached) in place underneath and then from top of deck, screw the drain fitting down into the female thread.

I had a hard time finding one that truly sat flush so I dremel-tooled it to work.

There are Nylon, Marelon, SS, and chromed plastic versions of these. The key is to find the one that fits your hole and the elbow thread.
Someone posted a matched pair (elbow and deck drain) with SS top. It was not the correct hole size for me

That is basically what I'm looking for. I'm helping someone out but eventually it may be me! Thanks.

If I do my transom at some point I'll probably have access.

Key Features:

• Durable 316 stainless steel and nylon construction to withstand the harsh marine environment
• 90° elbow design
• 2.625" wide spoke-style drain grate to maximize water flow
• 1.5" drain connection
• M46 x 2.2P screw thread on drain grate
• Exact replacement for plastic cockpit drains used on many Grady White boats
• Requires 1.875" installation hole
• Includes drain and drain grate

I think it matches newer Gradys

You gotta find a match for the hole(s) in the deck and the sunken relief in the deck.

..or you got project creep.....

Thats the ticket. Make sure you get the right one. There are a few sizes and only one works.
