I replaced mine with another Raritan. The bottom of my old one rusted out. The new ones are plastic on the outside - won't rust. I bought mine from Columbia Marine Exchange in Portland. Cheaper than Defender. They can probably have it drop shipped to you. Check out their web site, and give Kim a call. If you get a different brand, check the dimensions carefully, or it may not fit through the hatch.
