Thru Hulls

[slicky]

Hi I have an 89 Grady-White trophy pro with original white plastic thru hulls and scuppers.In the next month or so I plan on replacing them all due to looking like crap from the sun and have heard horror stories of boats sinking at the dock. Anyone do this and what did you replace with and what mfg did you use. Should I go with stainless or the new UV protected plastic or bronze with chrome finish.

Thanks

Stainless or bronze - chrome-plated bronze is OK, too, but not necessary.

BoatFix carries 'em.

You could use bronze but you really should connect them to the boat's bonding system or you could use Marelon. Marelon would be my choice for ease of installation and you should get 20 years out of them.
