Hole in boat
Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2018 10:38 am
Hey Gang,
No stranger to Chrysler 22's here...
I would add pic, but this site won't accept pic from iphone 7.... no indicator on what size/ format is required. Onward w/out pic:
Ancient depth finder/ no longer functioning. Midline bottom of boat, about 1.5 feet sternward from back of keel when reeled up. Just below floor/ beginning of first cockpit step. About 3" in diameter. I use x2 marine batteries on a cradle direct underneath cockpit step... they slid/ banged the depth finder, which crumbled the ancient plastic retainer ring. Only very slight residual water leaking now, but I have a 3" hole waiting to happen.
Q: what can i use to fill this 3" thru-hull hole once I bust this ancient crap out?
I need a solid metal part with a retainer ring that I can seal/ waterproof.
Ideas (All accepted!!!)
Will send pic if you can help with that idea.
Thanx in advance!
Bill
