246 Osprey Motor well/bracket drain size
« on: April 25, 2016, 12:38:33 PM »
Hi guys, i have a 1997 Osprey  and I need to replace the drain tubes in the motor well. The genius that I am, I never measured the size... Well the boat is still buried in storage and I was going to order them now so I can replace them this weekend.

Does anyone know what size I need to order? I am thinking they should be standard 1", but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance!
Carl

you talking about the brass scupper drain tubes?  I would guess they are 1" but I'm not 100 sure.  Do you have the flare tool to install them?

Yes, the brass ones. I'll just order the 1" and if they are the wrong size I'll return them or save them for the flatback I guess.

I have a home made flaring tool which works just as good, at least the end result is the same.

If I recall you were getting a pontoon after you sold your 246, correct? Thanks for the reply too! :nSalute:

Duh.... His boat was even named Marc-Time. Lol! Sorry about that.

Anyway, just in case anyone was wondering, those drains are 1 1/4".

Have a good one everybody!
