Plug for pisser hole in hull

[Jcary85]

What have people used to plug a hole where a pisser used to be that doesn’t look like crap? I need to relocate a pisser but don’t want to just slap a stainless bolt in there. Ideas? Thanks!

Leave the pisser in the hull, cap it from the back side.

Ya I normally would but I actually don’t have room. I’m trying to move my water box up and the pisser for the pipe will touch the water box coupler if I don’t move it.

I guess I could cut the back off and weld it up but it would probably destroy the anodizing.

FYI, with an aluminum bolt you could round it off pretty easily to look less bolt like. It'll still be hex shaped, but "roundy" on the face. Mcmaster sells such aluminum bolts.

Cut it and fill it with silicone. *shrug*

Take a piece of duck tape and cover the hole. Use a small piece turned backwards stuck to the tape directly over the hole. Take some 5 minute epoxy and fill from the back side, make a larger patch of epoxy on the inside. Once cured, remove the tape and cover with a sticker.

Or just cover it with a sticker and be done.

This is usually what I do, then I eventually fill the back in with resin.

A good Blowsion sticker takes care of just about every blemish.

How much room inside do you have? Could you use a countersunk washer and bolt like rickter footholds use?

That’s a decent idea. I’m kinda leaning towards a bolt of some type that looks like it’s on purpose. I’ll experiment. Thanks for all the ideas!

slap a JM sticker over it and call it good.

I have used (M8) stainless carriage bolts very successfully in the past. Countered with a big washer and a nut from the inside. If you want you can paint them to match your hull color or what ever. A bit of sealant and your good to go in minutes...

Y’all have taken something so simple and complicated it.You could have already fixed it and been done as long as this thread has gone on
Have a nice day.....

Conical washers with countersunk Allen bolts look the best in my opinion. Blocked off a few bolt holes in my hull and I don’t lose any sleep over how it looks

It’s always the simplest questions to answer that get the most responses cause everyone knows how to answer them.
