[Public-list] plugging thru-hulls

[Gordon White]

There is a machine shop - North  Machine,  in Dutton, VA., at the 
intersection of  Rts. 3 and 198 in Mathews County, just south of the 
Piakatank River Bridge that could probably make caps for almost any 
thread. I have no idea of the cost, but they machined a pair of Ford 
spindles to fit my race car for $100 the pair and it was considerable 
work.  (804) 725-5443. Another temporary option might be to cut wooden 
plugs to be a tight fit and seal them with 3M 4200 or (if you wanted to 
be really permanent, 5200) and for further safety, drill a hole in the 
side for a set screw or  other retaining pin. Another thought - Walden's 
Marina , in Deltaville, at the end of Timberneck Rd. has a lot of really 
old chandlery stuff. If any place in Deltavilla has such things, it 
would be there. Walden's is on the west side of Broad Creek, across the 
parking lot from Cocomo's restaurant.
