What size tubing is needed for cup holder drains?

[lgparra]

I just did this the other day. I thought about going the tube route too but silicone was so much easier. Just removed each cup holder, filled each drain hole with silicone and let it cure for a day or two. Like a few other guys mentioned, if the cup holders get full of water from a rain storm or condensation from drinks, a quick wipe with a cloth/towel is easy. Here's a link to the silicone I used off Amazon.

I am debating, honestly on what to do. I am getting pretty tired of doing mods right now, and I haven't even done the trolling motor. Also tired of cutting holes in boat and fiberglass shards on my hands and arms. Not to mention I got stuck twice trying to crawl way in the back.

Silicone may be a way to go. Later could just take it/ drill it out if my OCD got to me over putting tubes in.

Don’t let the Admiral hear that you are tired of doing mods. That pool will be getting setup.

I've been going over the new (to me) SX190 and was baffled. Why would anyone design anything to drain into carpeted "dry" storage? I just put a piece of electrical tape over the opening until I can figure out if I want to run drain lines and/or replace with stainless cupholders.

Since I have been playing with the hoses, I can confirm that the 3/8" ID is what is for the stock cupholders on my boat. I found them and verified again with a cupholder.

Next, you'll be asking why they purposefully made a hole for water to enter the boat in the anchor locker and the cleanout tray drain, or why they didn't put the bilge pump in the lowest area of the boat! It's just one of those handful of things that have you scratching your head, and then you address it and move on, aware that you love your boat enough to deal with frustrations like these.
