I'm starting work on the interior of my 26D... I have 75 of these plastic covers to replace, 2 sizes (3/4" and 1-1/2")... I have looked at bwyachts, Dowser, MacGregor Owners... can't find these things on these sites. Does anyone know where I may be able to purchase them?

They are liner plugs.

Check with https://shop.bwyachts.com/category-s/210.htm and scroll down.

Thanks NiceAft! I obviously know what they are for, didn't know what to call them. This forum rocks!

I have seen something similar at Ace Hardware.
Not sure if all Aces have them or just mine.

You can get 'em on Amazon, just have to find the right diameter and color.

:o :o Good thing they weren’t hobnobits! :o :o
:| :| Those went out of stock 3 years ago! :| :|

The ballykisswhodunnits are rare but can generally be found next to the 50 foot lengths of shore line and the bidirectional smokeshifternobs in upscale chandleries.

:D :D :wink: :wink:

I bought tons of those from Blue water Yachts.. just last season.
They had lots!.

They do tend to sometimes pop out.. due to varied hole size in the glass work.. so I put a TINY dot of silicone on each one (very tiny) and that worked fine.

You have pulled those plugs too hard.
Next boat, pull them less hard.
