Default Re: thru hull

Fellow Ship-
Thanks for the reply, I am referring to the hatch and compartment on the raised deck section. This is where I keep my anchor, my forward thru hull drains this area.
Thanks Bill

My '78 CC (probably just like yours) That area was designed for a fishbox with overboard drainage. I also keep my sand anchor in that space.

"Problem" Mine was a screw type plastic thru hull and had developed a small crack (time & stress related) There was water intrusion thru this crack into the bilge.

"FIX" I took out the inferior plastic thru hull and replaced with a SS Gemlux model, Sealed with 5200. I will continue (because of stress & time) to monitor this thru hull as well as other thru hull fitings (seacocks, bilge drain, scuppers etc) for leakage under a normal maintenace plan
