Has anyone found a way to make a spacer for the older port holes that are too big for cat bags (like a really big, thin plastic washer)? It seems there has to be something I can stick in there, to avoid replacing the port.
I have this cool new cat bag, but it falls through the hole.

What boat do you have? Were the bags you bought designed for ports? Are your ports the old pop-off type or the screw-on's?
If I remember correctly, the original pop-off ports on my H18 had a bag that hung from the port lid, but the new screw-in ports have a lip for the new bags to rest on.
Most people end up replacing the ports with the screw-in because the old ones leak, and the lids get lost or broken.

The hole on the port side holds a cat bag. It has an inner lip that the starboard side hole is missing.
They are 6" holes on a 1982 Prindle 18.
I will probably replace the port hole.
