Drilling holes was once a popular task on a boater's plumbing to-do list. That was before MarineEast created the multipurpose Manifold, accommodating up to six openings of various sizes. Its design results in fewer thru-hulls, eliminates parts, saves installation time and speeds up drainage. Each manifold has four 1-inch internal, female-threaded offset side-fittings for adapters, tees or elbows. Five different models are available for unlimited combinations. Prices start at $17.95.
