[Public-List] Rachel - Hull thickness question

Richard, 

You could also try wooden blocking to shore the bracket against the outer hull. It would be better to screw something into the new backet temporarly rather than the hull. 

My two cents. BTW I guess the tank from Geroge worked out? Just placed the group order for tanks yesterday, so you are about a month ahead of us.

Installing a saddle tank in the stb locker to replace the tank under the 
cockpit sole. 
I have the tank, courtesy of another member of this site, but now need to 
install a "bracket" to secure it with, which I have fashioned out of epoxy 
coated wood. Now need to gently screw that bracket into the hull wall/side 
while west system sets up, then fibreglass over all. 

So, that's my tale, but running out of heat for fibregalss work!

I can't speak to that exact spot, but I removed/replaced or filled all the 
below-the-waterline seacocks on the whole boat and the hull was around 3/8" 
thick (and pretty uniform for all of them  (#221). 

I'm trying to remember if I drilled or looked at any holes above the 
waterline... I don't think so, but if I remember any I will reply again. 

I'll admit that I'm curious why you are asking :) (But my mind just works 
that way - not that I'm challenging you or anything like that!)
