Where can I find an Umbrella port plug?

[calisoldier]

I have an umbrella port in my baha. It's been uncovered and I could see debris collecting in it. I had a few questions:

1. Can I shop vac the debris out?
2. Can I buy a plug for it? The length of hole is a little over 1.5". I'm not sure if this is standard.
3. It looks like the rim of it might be cracked (see picture). Is that an issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

common sense prevailed. I shopvac’d the innards with a few different attachments to get the debris out. It’s nice and clean now.

I’m wondering if there’s a problem if I plug it up with water in it. I wonder if algae willl build up in there if stagnant water is completely sealed in.

I found a Hayward 1.5” plug on Amazon that fits but not sure what to do now. I was thinking of drilling some small holes in it so chlorinated water can pass through while keeping larger debris out.

Haven’t really figured out what to do with the cracked trim yet. It doesn’t seem to be causing an issue so I’m inclined to leave it as is if it’s superficial.

Ideas welcome!
