Not flanged, It's easy to do. You have to anneal it by heating the end to be flanged cherry red and immediately quenching in water. Flange the first end, cut to desired length leaving 3/16" - 1/4" for flanging the second end, quench the second end, apply sealer and/or o-ring (I have those too.)install in hole, flange the second end in place. There's a lot of info on the whaler site...www.continuouswave.com

I have 28 1/4" and the o-rings to fit. It's yours for the shipping cost. Don't be scared of the flaring part. Once it's annealed it bends really easy without cracking. It's too brittle otherwise. The more square and accurate you cut the ends, the better it looks finished. The second flange is a two person job.....one to hold/one to hammer (an old towing ball works nicely!), or sometimes your local Whaler shop will rent (or lend) the flaring tool. All this assumes the tubes are flanged on both ends and capturing the hull against both flanges.

![]() I have seen some really nice work on this site w/ PVC set in epoxy. I re-did my 'tubes' (3) years ago and if I were to do it again I would do it the epoxy/PVC way. |
