For tuna tubes, probably what you need are pvc fittings. Since I don't know all the particulars I'm just guessing of course. But for through hull fittings below the water line you definitely want bronze, or stainless at least.

Most folks I know use the raw water washdown pump to feed the tubes, so that plumbing should allready be there if you have a washdown pump. I assumed you meant the fitting to connect the tube manifold to the washdown pump.
