Anchor locker hinges + AC drain question

oday 28 rock hall
On my O'day 28, one of my anchor locker hinges fractured across the two screws on the deckside of the hinge. In looking at the other one, I can see signs of its time is limited (and was the easier one to remove) - see photo. I would like to replace both. I did speak to Rudy (at D R Marine), but they don't have any and are currently trying to source a manufacture of them with the current hole pattern - i dont fancy drilling new holes into the deck.

Does anyone know where else I can get two. [in the meantime I did find some white nylon ones in West Marine that I drilled out to the same hole pattern, but just do not look right].


A question on the AC unit which I assume is factory installed on the 25th Anniversary edition (in the nav station cabinet next to the quarterbunk). Where does the condensate from the drain pan end up?
I think mine gets an air lock or something (crud) since it does not appear to drain well. I can use one of the "puffer type things" and force water down the hole and it sucks the rest out, but gradually the pan fills above the outlet tube again. I tried following the tube but it disappears below the sole liner (probably somewhere close to the icebox drain as that equally disappears when looking in the cabinet under the sink).

I ordered these for the anchor locker of my Oday 25. I haven't put them on yet but pretty sure I checked them and they fit.
Might want to try one and if it worked get another. If I remember this weekend when I get to the boat, I will try to take some measurements of the hinge.
