Oh wow mahalo(thank u) Gym, those look solid. I see what u mean as far as adjustability. I probably would have to order those online, don’t think the local stores or shops would have them. Great idea🤙🏽
Yes @rkim808 I ordered these on Ebay.

Yeah sorry I don't know of anyway to seal those up better. Maybe some one else will weigh in on that.
None of mine had hoses so I sealed mine with silicone.

Oh wow none of urs had hoses connected? It’s weird because the ones I figure would need drain hoses don’t have them. And I needed to silicon around the cup holders cause when I wash the boat like I said they leak. As for the broken/cut pieces of clamp, I gotta check all the clamp in the engine box. I noticed when looking to the far back of it, there’s a a half moon like large drain hole behind the bilge. It might of slid into the transom/exhaust area.🤔

So I had been finding spiral metal shavings poking out from my drain plug almost every time I used my boat. I finally lifted the small door between the clean outs and shined a flashlight down to where the drain sits. Found a ton of junk that I was able to reach down and get, some of which looks like what others had mentioned. Small plastic bag, screws, clamp pieces, etc. Guess it’s not anything important, I hope!

It is the Yamaha spare part program... Those are your spare parts. I hope you didn't throw them away...

Found one loose screw but no missing screws - probably just dropped during assembly. Lots of shavings of metal, plastic, and fiberglass, dust, etc. I put a hose in the forward section and let it run toward the stern with the drain plug out and the jack cranked fully up. After about 3 "rinses" I think I have everything out now.
