They are both 1 1/2 inches outside diameter. Before I installed
these, the only cockpit drain was through the hole that the swing
keel cable went through (about 1 inch). BTW: The trickiest part
of the whole affair was finding a 1 7/8 hole saw. Can't use
bigger, and can't use smaller! Don't forget to epoxy seal any
balsa core you run into.
