What is a good source to purchase these parts? I want to replace my scuppers and the rear 'plug' fitting. These are white plastic parts.

West Marine has all the parts you need. I recently checked and they have every thru-hull for my Whaler even the odd shaped ones that many other stores don't carry.

You may want to google "maralon".

Thanks Butch. I did google it. She's pretty and all but I'm not in the market. You ever use a local fiberglass place? I like Melech but I might try the other place in town.

Sorry, I think it should have been "marelon" but maybe not. I installed a head on a previous boat and used marelon through hull fittings for the suction and discharge lines. I sold the boat about ten years later and the fittings looked new.
I've only had fiberglass work done in P'cola. I've heard of Melech. Are they the folks in Theodore? Several years ago I stopped at a small fiberglass repair shop on Old Shell Road just a bit East/South of I-65 and talked to the owner about some work. He was so backed up that he wouldn't even add me to his list. The shop was clean and well organized and he showed me some examples of his work. I was favorably impressed.

That's Melech on Old Shell. Used them before and they're ok. How is the Pensacola one? I'm also thinking of trying Fiber-Plastics on Halls Mill Rd. Heard good things.

The shop I used in P'cola is right across the street from MarineMax. At the time the MarineMax location was Killinger Marine and they shopped just about all of their fiberglass work to that shop.
Their work, in my case, was faultless.
