Just got pictures of my outboard brackets. This happened in a 3 week period including a Week in Old Bahama Bay , West End Bahamas. I used shore power for 6 days. This is why I figured electrolysis played a part in the thru hull failure. I’m replacing all the thru hulls and bonding them. Also...

I like the thoughts on the heavier triangle based thru hulls and will pursue that avenue. After a little investigation we found that I possibly had some serious stray current corrosion in the past couple months. After pulling the boat today I found the 2 month old sacrificial anodes had really...

I was removing my air conditioner pump and barely bumped my live well thru hull. To my surprise the thing snapped right at the hull below the shutoff. Lucky I had a set of tapered hardwood plugs and was able to stop the water coming in. ( If you don’t have a set, you might want to pick one up)...
