Above Water Line Thru Hulls Leaking

[lmannyr]

There are 2 plastic thru hulls beneath the integrated swim platform and above water line (crappy design) that drains water from the deck that are leaking sea water from outside into the bilge.

There are 2 bilge discharge thru hulls that are also leaking into the bilge.

I plan to re-bed the fittings with sealant but was wondering if I should upgrade to metal fittings or just reuse the plastic fittings that have been working for 22 years now?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Above Water Line Thru Hulls Leaking

depends on the look you want.....a lot of the new chrome fittings are just painted chrome over plastic.

so its your call.....

but i would replace the fittings....check the condition of hoses.....and replace.

i would also use 4200 at least....if not 5200 as a sealant
