That's what I did when I hauled this boat out. Wanted to install A/C and a
sea water tap at the galley sink in the future (and not pay haul out fees
just to do this work), so I installed the thru- hulls and sea cocks and
capped them. Galley tap got installed, I've decided to "allow" who ever buys
the boat to install the A/C. The sea cocks are left closed and cycled
periodically.

I've never seen one. I have one on my boat but it was fabricated by the
PO who owned a metal fabrication business. If you really think you will
want to use the same hole again, then install a regular thru-hull and put
a cap on it. Otherwise, glass it over.

I have a couple that I would like to remove also. I may replace them with
a
different transducer or thru-hull later. Would anyone make a blank
thru-hull
fitting? Round solid with a backing nut? That would be easy and you could
pop it out and use the hole later. Do they make such a part?

On a related subject, say you have an old through hull that you don't
need anymore, 'ducer, water pick-up, etc.

What's the best way to fill it after removal? New through hull, just
in case you need one later, or repair the solid fiberglass?

Which would be toughest/longest lasting/cheapest?

Thanks
