I guess so. I just thought it would be nice if someone made one out of that
Marelon. It would probably be cheaper than a regular thru hull and easy to plug it up. What would be the procedure to plug it with glass? Would I have to make a plug or something the same thickness of the hull? "Doug Dotson" wrote in message ... 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. Doug s/v Callista "Phil" wrote in message m... 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 Donny www.picturetrail.com/sixbennetts |

I'm not a big fan of plastic below the waterline. Bronze isn;t all that
extensive. Your best bet is to get a book like the one from WEST System for instructions on how to fill in a hole. Doug s/v Callista "Phil" wrote in message m... I guess so.
