Exactly as per my previous post. In my case I discovered the odd-sized flush mount thru-hulls once the boat was out of the water. So there wasn’t any option of waiting around for some far-distant supplier to ship. I had to go with what was available locally. If you have the luxury of pre-ordering and can find ones of the correct size then go for it. If not then .... adapt!
Also keep in mind not all thu-hulls and ball valves are created equal. I’d say don’t skimp and save a few bucks on off-shore “generic” product. Or be like the (supposedly) professional who replaced the valves on my boat with Home Depot specials!

I replaced all else with seacocks, new backing plates and new thru-hulls. Like yours, mine were flush mounted. The stuff on the market is smaller so I filled the remaining gap with thickened epoxy, mostly successful (looks a bit off but you barely notice). I would recommend just filling the counter sunk hole and mounting standard mushroom thru-hulls, seems easier and more straightforward.

I bought everything, including flush fitting through hulls from Deep Blue Yacht Supply. I used a small diamond cutting wheel on my Rotozip to cut out the old fittings.
