Thru hulls

[davidcfletcher]

Has anyone changed the thru hull fittings to flanged seacocks on their B.

Can the pan liner be opened up enough to allow for the mounting of a seacock?

I looked at it and even bought the flanged bronze grocco fittings but then realized how much work it would be so I returned the flanged units and just installed the ones wit the threaded stems, oversize washers/backing plates and nuts

There is probably a post in the archives with some pics

I replaced mine with flanged grocco. Was mostly fine. A couple tight spots required creativity but otherwise quite happy with outcome. What do you want to know?

I installed flanged thru hulls for two reasons: most important to me, I wanted more meat. In some places I measured only 1/2" thick hull. We fabricated 1/2" thick G10 flanges which I epoxide on the inside of the hull. Second reason was the ability to install elbows. It allows for reorganizing the plumbing. In my case, I wanted to gain more storage area. The elbows allowed me to redress the tubing that it lays flat on the hull inside. I used the same hole saw size which was use for the flanges to open up the inner liner. The thickness of the saw blade is your clearance. Additional benefit: flanges come with predrilled holes for grounds.

My concern is enlarging the opening in the Pan to allow the seacock to sit on the hull. Then will the handle turn without hitting the pan.

Will cutting the pan compromise the strength of the grid?

When you cut the inner panel with your holesaw you are replacing that with half inch H type glass from Jamestown distributors to be glassed in as a backing for the flange thru hull, that way the flange itself is sitting on over 1 inch of solid thick glass
