Hi Mark Could you explain the details of replacing the thru hulls? I suspect mine are marginal, & don't know if this is a do it yourself job or not.

Tod, Grace used to collect some water in the bilge also. I wriggled under the cockpit while she was in the water and inspected the thru-hulls at the point at which the hoses attached. A little pressure with my fingers quickly revealed that the thru hulls were corroded to the point of failure (I was thankful that Grace has a bilge pump even though the amount of water coming in was not that great). Another symptom that she exhibited was the collection of rainwater in the bilge after a heavy rain. After replacing the thru-hulls she has remained bone-dry inside. Mark Dvorscak M17 #400 Grace
