I have always assumed that thru-hull fittings should not have anything blocking easy access to them, just in case. After a number of years I am starting to wonder.
Okay, because they can rupture, hose fittings surely need to have access without interferrence. But, what about transducers for depth and speed logs? In the ten years I owned my C27, I've never any sign of water intrusion around them, and there's nothing really to fail. Or, am I wrong?
So, how risky do you think it would be to relocate the holding tank to the starboard v-berth locker (just forward of the head), which would place it over my depth meter transducer? My reasons for relocation have to do with a larger tank and shorter hose length (requiring less flushing volume).
Thoughts? Thanks,
