Using tape and starting in reverse to drill a neat hole through gel coat is
good advice.
Depending on where you drill, you might get balsa core, especially above the
waterline

Sam,
Actually, your question is something I would like to hear the list's thoughts
on. I've

Just a caution on using a hole saw. You shouldn't have a problem with a 1
1/4 hole saw but when using a larger one you should use a drill with a side
handle. I have a corded 1/2 inch drill with a side handle that I use for
all hole saw work. A broken wrist could be painful. :)

LifeCaulk is not recommended for plastics because it’s partly a polysulfide
product, which will eat plastic. LifeSeal is my product of choice for this.

silicone. Polysulfide (Life Caulk) would probably work, but there

Hi Joel,
I’d run the holesaw in reverse to lightly go through the gelcoat. Once you have
a good clean pilot hole, you could start out side and likely finish from
outside. Hole saws can be wicked in close quarters, and you don’t want to
enlarge your pilot hole before you make your “clean cut”.
Tom,
Dennis helped me with a similar project. Key is to not break the gelcoat!
IIRC, put masking tape over the area on the outside. Drill a small pilot
hold from the inside through the hull. Use your hole saw first from the
inside, drilling 1/2 way through, then drill the rest from the outside.
Hi listers,
Thanks, everyone, for your advice on the solar charging system and ACR.
Onto the next project!
I'm going to be drilling a hole in the hull to install a
well-above-the-waterline thruhull for a bilge pump discharge hose. The
thruhull is 1 1/8" inch, so I'm going to use a 1 1/4" hole saw
