Hi Guys,
Quick intro since this is my first post. I'm the proud new owner of a 1979 13' ft Avon (hypalon) with removable wooden floor. It's powered by a 35HP Evinrude outboard. I'm in Torrance, CA and frequently launch out of San Pedro or Redondo Beach. So far I've converted a small flatbed trailer into a SIB trailer, completely rebuilt the engine after an overheating incident, rebuild the aft section of flooring with a stronger design since the original kept coming apart, and applied a few patches. I keep a bunch of photos of this project in the following google drive location.

My latest drama involves a broken valve. The parts are shown in the following link. The hole in the tube is about 1.25" diameter.

The valve body is cracked from over tightening so I have to replace the whole thing. What's the best replacement valve? Is there a how-to or video showing the recommended replacement procedure?
Thank you,
