Default Re: Leaky thru hull question

Hooper-

I thought you sold your boat I saw you had it listed on the hull truth? and it was sold.

whats up with that

If I am not mistaken this thru hull was originally brass and flared on each side, the type that an expandable plug goes in?

If it was and the previous owner replaced it with plastic I think you should rip he plastic one out and go back with a brass tube. You can get the tube through McMaster or some local marine stores. You can flare it with a flaring tool or a ball peen hammer.

If I am off base here, whoops.
