Thru hulls above waterline

Post by efishnsea »

Noticed some of the thru hull drains were a little shaky (plastic) found while removing very brittle and cracked right off. Please pay attention to these fittings there are a lot of them. If they fail in any kind of sea they will allow a lot of water intrusion. Changing all to stainless and they look better too.

Had to replace most of mine right after I bought shady. I went with plastic again and they still looked great when I sold her
