Can't find 2½" through hull replacement for 343 oceanis

[Tuxie]

I have a plastic 2½ inch through hull with combined valve and 90degree angle which ends in 63mm hose barb. It is used to dump the black water tank to the sea. I think it's the original from around 2005. It has now started to leak through the handle randomly after moving the valve so I think it's time to replace it...

I've tried to google everything I can think of but haven't had any luck finding a replacement. One option would be to just go smaller and do some fiberglassing to make the hole smaller and suitable for 2" through hull. However I'd really like to avoid that since that will most likely require changing the connecting hose and somehow reworking the storage tank to work with smaller hose...

If anyone has any ideas where to find one I'd be beyond happy.
Thanks!

Thanks! I was hoping to find plastic "all in one" similar to what I have now as I don't have much space and I'm hoping the plastic piece would be less than 500 pounds (: The bronze ones get a bit expensive at that sizes. Though bronze is good last resort option for sure..

Can't say I have seen an all in one, but these guys had a good selection of Trudesign in last weekend when I visited.

Not even manatee biscuits require a two and one half inch thru hull.

Is the 2 1/2 the OD number, outside diameter ( OD)?

Time to get a tape measure, might be a Guinness world record log...

It's really about 2½ inch ID.. That's why it's so weird fitting to find.
Last summer I ordered "Hose WC 60mm ALIMPOMP/SANM30 A" from the local supplier and with this one it's definately inner diameter 60mm since the OD was about 72mm or so. Anyways I guess I'll have to take it in pieces and see what's the actual size of the hole in the hull and try to figure something out. It's just PITA to change since the hose from the holding tank is so massive so there has to be some random step down parts on the way if I end up making it smaller...

I've attached a photo from outside the boat. The smaller fitting is 3/4" if memory serves when I changed it last summer. I did install one fitting that was about 1 1/4" last summer when redoing the fittings, but waste through hull one is much bigger than that.
