Sea-Dog Captive Garboard Drain & Plug 520060-1, 316 Stainless Steel, Replaces 520040/520042

The Sea-Dog Captive Garboard Drain & Plug (520060-1) is a boat hull garboard drain and plug assembly built from investment cast 316 stainless steel for strong resistance to saltwater corrosion. It is designed as a direct replacement for the bronze, traditional style Sea-Dog Garboard drains 520040 and 520042, giving boat owners a corrosion-resistant upgrade path for an existing hull fitting.

The plug is captive to the drain housing, so it cannot be dropped or lost overboard when opened to drain the bilge or closed to keep water out while underway. The assembly measures 2 inches, 1-1/8 inches, 1/2 inch, and 2-5/8 inches across its key mounting points and installs with three #8 flat head fasteners (fasteners not included). Replacement plug-and-gasket and gasket-only parts are also available separately for ongoing maintenance of this drain.
