[Public-List] Whitby thru-hulls

[Rachel]

Hi Stephen,

When I replaced my original through hulls and seacocks, I found the  
hull to be somewhere around 3/8" , which isn't so different from yours  
(and I'm not sure my measurement was micrometer-accurate).  My boat  
was a 1967.

I only had one of those homemade through-hulls left, and while it  
wasn't "broken" (boat had been in freshwater all its life), I was  
still glad to have it gone, and to have a proper seacock and new  
through hull in its place.  But I don't like to worry about things  
beneath the waterline.

(That said, with a proper seacock it's not necessarily that important  
what the through hull is like; but the homemade through hulls also had  
gate valves on them.)
