Tod, Last year I replaced my thru-hulls. I have photos (but haven't gotten them scanned) of the procedure. There was no flange. Mine were very corroded and came out in pieces. I used some 1-1/2" SS tubing in place of the aluminum and glassed them in. I cut one end of the tubing at a 61° angle to match the hull and left enough exposed on the inside to give the drain hoses a good surface to clamp to. The aluminum tubing that exits the cockpit was still in very good shape so I didn't change those out. Mark Dvorscak M17 #400 GRACE
