Honwave drain plug-advice please

[andyadam]

Am i right in thinking this is a one way drain valve, can it be opened while underway ? if so minimum knots ? or would it not be recommended, I cant seem to find anything about it in the instructions which are fairly basic.

[jeffstevens763@g]

its a mushroom valve so long as there's no dirt in it, it self drains at any speed faster is a quicker drain.
i just leave mine open

Anyone know where to get a replacement rubber centre seal for a Honwave 3.5ae?

Had a butchers online and finally went with Trident UK.
£8.64 delivered for a genuine Honwave complete one way drain valve assembly. Mine's been faulty since I bought the Sib 2nd from my uncle.

thats cheap enough the mushroom valve as they are called should be standard size for info and should be available seperate i will do some digging as mine is a complete drain assembly at £30

£30 is a bit steep.
It's just the rubber I need but I'll just swap the whole assembly over.

yes it is but if you swap out the whole thing it means breaking the seal through the transom.

I may just use the rubber mushroom seal in that case.
I'll have a butchers at it once the valve arrives in the post.
