Default Re: Leaky thru hull question

Hooper,
The 20' MA is the same. I've had Mine break while running a couple of times. Not real fun when Ya see water coming / sloshing out of that fish box. That fitting was a plastic compression type.They would break in the middle due to Flex & would fill the inner hull with water. This was foamed in & it got saturated.It now has a Bronze thru hull.Very lil' flex now that the Hull & top cap are firmly put back together.

Water seeps around the fitting and between the hull and fish box liner and gathers in the bilge. Enough seepage and the boat sinks. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
BINGO!

Roger-

Right on the money....

Well, at any rate, I have the work being done now for me, when it comes to things below the waterline they are best worked on by boat people, not me!
