We own a mid 70’s Pearson 10M. There’s a wash-down connector at the bow of the boat but we’ve not found a connector/adaptor for this hook-up on the boat. I purchased a Jabsco Quick connect adaptor (which I think is fairly standard) but it does not fit our boat’s wash-down connector (shoulder too large). Any suggestions on what other type of connector adaptors are used? The wash-down connection is a simple stainless steel fitting without any names on it (photo attached). Thank you

I think you would need a male screw connection to attach a hose like these. The one on the left is T-H Marine and the one on the right is Perko. I assume it is attached to a hose from a washdown pump.

Check out Aquor water systems connectors. The deck fitting looks very similar.

Are there threads inside the hole?
No threads, there are two nipples, so a bayonet system like Jabsco uses but, it only has two nipples and not three, I think this might be key to the size of the adaptor. I found this (photo) online. Of course I can't find just the adaptor online but still looking. We're getting ready to take our first mini cruise across the bay for a few days. I've been hyper focused on on the big stuff but like most projects, it's the little things that end up biting you in the hind-parts!
