For an in the deck, ABS plastic holds up well. They are not expensive, and strong enough. If the port were below the waterline, then I would want bronze. Most SS we get these days (even some claiming to be 316, from China tend to rust.)
Any of these ports need seals replaced on a regular bases. I keep mine lubricated with silicone grease. _________________ Bob Austin
