[Public-list] thru hulls

[Mike Lehman]

If you have gate valves...replace them

If the suspect thru hull is 1/2" and original...replace it

If the thru hull fitting turns...replace it or re-bed it

Otherwise, buy a big bilge pump.

as a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". , i violated that 
rule after three years of hearing REPLACE THE GATE VALVES.
so, it was midnight and dark and as i turn a gate valve with my handy dandy 
pipe wrench, and notice the thru hull turning. in the dark it doesn't appear 
broken, but would this be a candidate for the whitby do it yourself thru 
hull fitting that all advise to replace?
