I am replacing thru-hull tailpipes (brass with bronze). The hose that leads to thruhull is 1 5/8" (because of a permanent fitting on the other end). There are no bronze tailpipes specifically for that size (or at least I can't find any), so I am using 1 1/2". I can, of course, just tighten the heck out of clamps and leave it that way - but these are cockpit drains, permanently open, and this solution does not make me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Can I use something like duck tape to build up thickness of the tailpipe? Or what would be a good material?
