Thru hulls

5200?

If below the waterline, would it be too much of an expense to use bronze or stainless, so you don't have to worry about it later. I seen at least one nice boat on e-bay that sank from over tightening a thru-hull.
Like grace said 5200 or fastcure 5200 would do fine.

I just bought a SS Thur hull today and my transducer (also Thur Hull) will be bedded in 5200!!

Use 5200. It says it right on the tubes "thru hull fittings"

thanks for the replies looks like 5200 is agreed all around. I think the bronze fitting may be a wise decision as well.

Buy Stainless you wont regret it. I'm planning to install ss thru hulls on my 250 Sportsman all the way around, just to lessen the worry about them breaking.

My understanding is the bronze is better below the waterline as stainless will lose its chromium coat and than is suceptable to corrosion where bronze just tarnishes.
