Hi Mike, if those are the right type, they are available from Amazon UK!

Apologies for the delay Mike, just returned from a weeks stay in Cumbria!

Never seen anything like that fitted to any boats in my neck of the woods but possibly looks like some sort of neoprene 'flapper' valve?

Hope you get sorted - let us know if you do!

Colin.
Thanks for posting back but these are not the type of transom drain. I am attaching a photos of the type fitted to our vessel. Another Hardy 25 in the yard has the same ones as well.

Can anyone say who makes / supplies them ?

Thanks,
Mike

Our 1992 Hardy 25 has two 'fishtail' that screw into the bottom of the transom. They are flat pieces of plastic
or rubber like a horizontal fish tail that open apart if water is inside the hull when boat is moving but close up when the water has drained out. Ours need replacing as they have become inflexible. Does anyone know who makes them and where we can get replacements ?
Thanks,
