    Thru Hull Replacements

    The problem with these types of threads is it gives a false sense of security. Nothing is infallible......never assume anything when it comes to safety. Thru hulls, Seacocks and all related plumbing (pumps, etc.) should be thoroughly inspected annually. Anything even remotely suspect should be...

    Fuel System O rings

    You may want to check your measurement conversions on the "disk" and "hole" dimensions..... Your ID and OD measurements don't add up to any available cross section. (OD - ID)/2 = CS Reported = 0.317 (8.1) x 0.141 (3.6) x 0.089 (2.2)* Available Sizes: 105 = 0.343 (8.7) x 0.143 (3.6)...

    Fuel System O rings
