On my 2004 257 Advance the top piece of the livewell drain pipe disintegrated. Does anyone know where I can buy a new pipe? The top appears to have been glued.

Thanks!

You can find replacement not oem online and in marine stores. You need to measure the bottom drain inside diameter accurately to get the right size, You probably will need to trim the replacement to the correct height so note that measurement too.
here are some examples

Look on eBay as well.

This seller sells direct Grady replacements at unreasonably high prices. Bear in mind that these stand pipes came in various heights.

But at least you can see the specs and then look at other stand pipes that are the same but at a more reasonable cost, such as here:


Screw-in Livewell Overflow Drain Tube fits 1-1/2 Drain 11-3/8 Tall
Screw-in Livewell Overflow Drain Tube fits 1-1/2" Drain 11-3/8" Tall

Hope this helps. I've bought a couple off eBay that have worked well, but apparently eBay doesn't keep my purchase history beyond two years, or I would send you directly to that seller.

Yeah, no way would I pay anywhere NEAR that much for a "Grady" standpipe :) It's just a silly plastic tube. TH Marine all the way if you wanted to buy one.

However, if it's just the "screen" that's bad... I bet you could find something at Home Depot that you could make work pretty easily. Go to the bath plumbing aisle. Heck, even just a piece of galvanized screen that you form to fit in and secure with a little hot glue would work. Or even a PVC cap that you glue on (if it doesn't already fit snugly by itself) and drill holes in. Point is... this is easily solvable for just a dollar or two.
