The thru hull fitting in the Fish locker on starboard side is leaking. Anyone have recommendations on use of BW replacement part(plastic) or brass, SS, Bronze etc ? Boat use is in salt water.

ALSO: Side drain(meltwater) from Starboard fish locker does not work. The meltwater drains in both lockers are located in the vertical wall on the Side towards the centerline....... not on the rear wall. Chuck at BW said the only drawings they have show the meltwater drains in the rear vertical wall. The port side locker drain works but I can not find any sign of a Pipe to carry water towards the fuel tank area but that's where the water comes out in the bilge in the rear (under the fuel tank)
The starboard meltwater drain didn't work so upon investigating I found only FOAM inside the hole where water should drain out through. The port meltwater drain works but it ALSO has only foam 'path' for water to travel in but apparently has some kind of path that is open.
Water stands in the starboard locker and None of it drains so I guess it's not getting into the hull.......

Anyone ever heard of this issue of Configuration of drains?

Suggestions ????

Thanks,

Marty
