Standard Bravo application. I am need to add two water dumps for pressure relief valves.
Everything I find is to short. The stardard transom should be 2 - 2 1/4 inches.
This is as close as I have found but they verified the threads are only 2 inches.

This can not be this hard

Used the same fitting on mine. Take a hole saw, sized large enough in diameter to clear the socket needed to tighten the nut on the dump, and mark using tape, approx 5/8" to 3/4" from the end of the hole saw. This will act as your guide for the depth. Drill into the transom from the bilge at your desired dump location, only go as deep as the tape on the outside of the hole saw barrel. Then just pop out the plug, it will only pop out as deep as you go with the hole saw. Clean up any bumps and gelcoat the hole. Then install the dump.

I am about ready to just make my own. It will probalby cost more than I can buy them for.
