Yamaha AR230 assistance please, again.

I was cleaning the back of the boat today but not sure if I’ve lost a grommet or plug whilst cleaning. It’s under the water line between both Jets.
Thanks in advance.

Isn't that your bilge drain plug? Should be a spare in your engine bay.

That is the scupper thru hull. There should be a rubber flapper (check valve) over the end to keep water from going back up the deck drain (scupper) hose. There should be a 1 1/2" / 38mm hose connecting a fitting at the cockpit floor below the engine hatch to that thru hull that runs thru the engine bay. The bilge drain is under that scupper outlet and several inches (15-20cm) forward.

Edit: If it is the plastic thru hull, refit with a S.S. scupper. Lots of information here about them being a week point and sinking boats because they are below the waterline.

Looks like the scupper. Notice the 2 notches in it? , & @zipper beat me to it

Morning. Sorry about this but these are the only sizes I can get my hands on here in Qatar. Would it be one of these?

 

[Benno]

Thanks for your help. It’s appreciated.

Maybe the first one shown. It needs to connect to this hose running from cockpit floor, sole, between the engines and clamp to the thru hull fitting at back of boat. Plastic thru hull fittings should not be used under water. S.S. would be better. But if you can't get it, replace with a 1 1/2" size WITH a rubber flapper over the outlet. Without it, water will flow back up the hose while going in reverse and enter the cockpit.



I still have the plastic factory thru hull and have ordered a S.S. replacement. I will be refitting my scupper in the next week. I feel lucky to have wet slipped for 3 years with this scupper and had no issues. But I am not one to "poke the bear". So I am changing it.

 

[Benno]

Great thanks. Unfortunately all these didn’t have to flap. Unable to locate one with.

Only thing I could find was this.

You Guys need a good Chandler like a West Marine store. Can you order one on line shipped to Qatar? The flapper is kind of important.
