Replacing bracket inspection ports...

[fishbust]

So today I am using the hose to help along the snow from the euro-bracket to melt since it was warm today and water is coming out of my hull drain plug.
My inspection covers I thought were pretty snug but apparently they leak badly.
I do not really trust those pop out lids not to pop out anyway.

Anyone replacing these with something else that seals better?

Could just need to be resealed or replace the o-ring. I tend to favor the screw-in style, though. Seems more secure to me.

Yeah, like I said, these were pretty tight, the other 6 in the boat are shot.

Looked at Armstrong, these would be perfect, had them on the bracket of my last boat, completely watertight but I do not feel like using a jigsaw to cut the holes bigger to fit the Armstrong deck plates, so decided to change these 2 out with Beckson screw in deck plates. The other 6 will just replace the O-rings.

Thanks Dennis.
