^ I ended up not using the sink drain kit. The fittings in my last post are schedule 40 PVC. What do you think?

Sandy, if your going to be a serious writer you must play nice for the first two e- books, poems, articles... (did you buy the race boat - come snapper killa, yet)

LT, I have no problem with the pvc or the bigger diameter; but why not stick with you're initial thought and go straight out the side instead of running tube aft to the old drain. After seeing your viddy and realizing your scuppers drained out the side i realized you simply have too many turns in the plumbing; and if the knuckleheads at sea hunt used sealant, then that much more flow loss can be expected. Assuming you can reach both ends (I know it's a stretch) plug old holes and have real scuppers (like Sandy's previously mentioned ovals) just fore of the old that shoots straight out.
