    E26 Scupper thru hulls

    Finally found the source of the water that continually collects in the bilge of my 87 E26. It is the plastic fittings that go thru the transom. Does anyone know the hole size and the hose size? Should I go with bronze?

    Size of Thru Hulls E-29

    Thru Hulls on 32-3

    I'm thinking of replacing the vacuum cleaner type cockpit drain hoses on my 32-3. Does anyone know if the white thru hulls are plastic or the better (Marlon?) stuff? Is there a way to tell? If they are plastic I'll have to replace them along with the hoses. Thanks for any help on this.... Mike

    Thru Hulls: Mushroom or Flush?

    Beyond the shape, is there any particular reason to use one type over the other? Seems like the mushroom type involves a lot less fiberglass work (new thru hull) vs the flush type. Thanks

    new through hulls vs just fiberglass over???

    I have 4 holes in my (almost) 30 year old E25. I really don't want any of them- 3 of 4 through hulls are starting to 'wheep', 'seep'... and the 1 1/4" head valve (I pulled the head long ago) is frozen 'almost-' shut; have it capped with a bronze 'nipple' for now... Not good... As both...
