[Public-List] Stern tube replacement

[Rachel]

I'm not sure if you are just attaching a new threaded inner piece to  
the original bronze shaft log fitting, or if you mean to replace the  
whole works (?).

If I were going to replace the whole works, I would use fiberglass  
tubing and glass it into the hull.

PS: For bronze I would try Atlas Metals or Alaskan Copper.
