shortening thru hulls - follow up
 

Hi folks,

I asked about how you could cut a bronze thru hull to reduce the
amount of blocking required inside the hull.

Angle grinder with cut off wheel worked very smoothly (I use a grinder
a lot and do have a smooth touch). Super easy to back off the nut.
The threads didn't really even need cleaning up with a file.

Saved a whole 1 lb with three thru hulls being shorter :)

You Cat people are strange :-)

I've got a mate with a Prout that has already removed his gen-set and
is now talking about much the electrical pump weighs as apposed to
foot pumps.

I tell him that to really lighten it, take out the motor.
