Seafarer,

I have replaced a couple of my through-hulls and have a couple more to do this winter. I would be happy to touch base with you to share what I have learned.

I may have some brass left over and I have both the 1" and 1.25" flaring tools. I also have the corresponding o-rings. I would be happy to loan them to you.

What diameter is the through-hull you are looking to replace? It is possible it is in good shape and does not need replacement. With mine, the o-rings had disintegrated and the repairs were not to my satisfaction.

If you are reasonably handy, you will have no problem with this.

Dan
