Hi everyone,
Our insurance company has asked us to replace the pvc elbow on the pump-overboard thru-hull on our boat. I know some of you have already done this. To save time and money, I was wondering if anyone had simply "unscrewed" the pvc elbow from the thruhull, and replaced it with something else, instead of replacing the thruhull or installing a new one. It looks like there may have been a little pvc cement applied to the fittings... how strongly does it bond to the thruhull itself? We'd replace the elbow and valve with of 90 degree Marelon valve fitting.
