Deck Through Hull Fittings Redo Heavy Duty
I wanted to re do all of the through hull fittings this year but did not like the sleeve style which was the original. Wanted something a bit heavier duty that will still perform as good or better then the original. More grabbing space for the sealant, each side screws into each other offering some compression. thick bronze fittings. had to have the eye brows removed to fit them in, and inverted the fitting to use the bolt side to offer enough vacuum space for the water to drain out the deck. i took a bit of a gamble and was a bit worried if the deck would drain. well, after a sea trial i must say i made the right call. works great, and seems to drain as fast and at a slower cruising speed. here are some pics... also had the bilge and fish box through hull fittings replaced
