Can anyone point me to some good on-line info on plugging old through hull holes in a fiberglass hull? Any other advice appreciated.

Plugging through hulls
Consider to put a bronze pipe cap and double nuts on the old
throughhull, then fill the beast with epoxy mush .... simply leave it in place, but 'deadheaded'. ..

Unless you have really good reasons not to, I would fill the hole with a through hull fitting. It would take a really good repair to refill the hole with anything that will be stronger. Why not just rebed the fitting and blind it off? Ryk |

You must be joking.

Plugging through hulls
This is what I've done with all the others and what I favor in
general. We've had this debate before on this forum but I'll repeat from the perspective of a boat designer. The bronze through hulls are very reliable, far from the weakest link in the watertight integrity. I have more faith in them and the solid mechanical connection than secondary bonds over a small region of 26 year old fiberglass. The through hull in this case however is a flush plastic transducer fitting which has been replaced by one of the inside the shell units. Since it is flush, the tapered hole has a lot less integrity against impact and it's right up in the forefoot where something awash, like a water soaked log, could impact it. I hate to add an unused through hull to the several I already have now on this boat and it is up in the very clean flow at the bow where it will create a lot more drag than the ones aft the are in the boundary layer anyway. If the hole were not beveled, I might just stick a capped through hull in it but I don't like the flush ones on a cruising boat because of the poorer support of the bevel. Any impact up here is likely to be sideways that the glass plug will tolerate well where as the projecting lip of a standard through hull could catch. -- Roger Long "Rich Hampel" wrote in message ...
