I also replaced a thru-hull with a Groco brass thru-hull (flush mount) that was not exactly the same size. Some minor adjustment and re-setting with West System colloidal silica resulted in a perfect fit (if I do say so myself). Almost child’s play.

I replaced them with Groco FTH-#### thru-hulls. It was pretty easy to reset new ones with some dremel and epoxy work. If you have exposed core, then its best to ream the core back and fill and glass it in. I have a description on my blog including waxing the thru-hull while doing the flush epoxy work. <https://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/search/label/thru-hulls> S/V Johanna Rose <https://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/search/label/thru-hulls> svjohannarose.blogspot.com <https://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/search/label/thru-hulls> - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ On Jan 19, 2023, at 12:13 PM, Tom A via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: Hello all, I had to replace my stbd cockpit drain Seacock and unfortunately could not save the thru-hull fitting. It is a flush mount style that fits into a recessed space on the hull. I’ve looked at a few manufacturers, but nothing matches up great. Before I start a salvage search, or try to adapt a new one, I was wondering if anybody had any advice. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16YqXM8JLY596Io3Ay_VKXnsXBCECw2_8/view?usp=share_link Thanks Tom C&C 36 Please show your appreciation for this list and the Photo Album site and help me pay the associated bills.
