Cleanout Plug Repair Kits Nowhere to be Found???- 2018 FSH 210

[singl77]

My rubber seals on the cleanout plugs wore out and I need a repair kit (I believe) to replace the seals. I cannot find them anywhere. Seem to be plenty on the market for Yamaha's 2016 and older. Nothing for my 2018 FSH 210. Anybody have any thoughts? Side note...seals were flaring out about 1/4 inch and was impossible to get them back in the ports, so I trimmed the flared portion away. Now they fit but I am worried the seal may be compromised. Hence the reason for a replacement/repair. Anyone done the same?

I haven't, but there's a test you can do to see if it's something you can live with as long as you aren't losing speed or experiencing cavitation or some other detrimental effect other than blowby.

Take a garden hose and flood your cleanout tray area, and open the inspection hatch. If you're getting water in/under/around your cleanout tray, you'll want to track down a kit sooner than later. No leaks or other issues, enjoy the boat until you can find one - it should be draining well enough to not be a reason to skip any outings

They did have some on Amazon recently, but I don't know how long shipping was. Price was in line with Partzilla after shipping fees were included.

Nevermind, Amazon recently way overpriced them, now it's EIGHTY SEVEN DOLLARS for the damn things, used to be $60 within the last week or two.

It cost more but try to get the whole plug.
