Default 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
