    installing new flush thru-hulls in original chamfered holes

    I recently pulled what appear to be the original bronze through-hulls for the head and galley in my E25. Given their pinkish appearance, I know I must replace these 35 year old pieces of hardware. I've read many of the debates on this forum (and on others) about the advantages and disadvantages...

    Convert head to fresh-water flush

    In my head, the E32-200 has a compartment with a cover built into the countertop. I don't use it for anything since whatever is put in there gets wet. I guess its purpose is for disposal of used toilet paper, since you aren't supposed to put that down the head. It's big enough for 2-3 gallons...

    Looking at a 1971 39 flush deck.

    Several issues. The hull to deck connection appears to simply be tabbed glass at the joint on the inside, without fasteners. Is this correct? The rub rails were screwed into the edge of the deck ply, inducing minor de lamination. A lot of crazing exists above the rub rail (picture). I'm...

    Thru Hulls: Mushroom or Flush?

    Beyond the shape, is there any particular reason to use one type over the other? Seems like the mushroom type involves a lot less fiberglass work (new thru hull) vs the flush type. Thanks

    Sean Engle's fresh water flush system

    Hi Sean, Enjoyed following your head replacement project. Learned a lot. Of course my layout on an E-28 is different from yours but tanks are tanks and hoses are hoses and what goes through them is all the same on different boats. You mentioned a fresh water flush system in the project. I...
