Through Hulls Leaking

[rayjay]

All the transom through hulls are leaking. 2 livewell and the transom plug. Is 5200 the best for through hull installation? Does anyone make solid replacement fittings? I have no need for the livewells and would just as soon not have holes in the back of my boat.<br /><br />How do you remove the metal tube that the transom plug fits into ?<br /><br />If I go with new metal through hulls someone explain the "hull bonding" thing to me.<br /><br />Thanks<br />rj

Re: Through Hulls Leaking

Were do you use your boat at?Bonding is not needed if the boat is not left in the water for long times.<br />The metal tube that is for the transom drain normaly is flanged on inside and out.To replace it,one must grind off the flange and pop it out.Installing a new one,one should glass it in place.<br />Thru hulls,use 5200.its the best that can be use below the water line.
