Listers, Consider chrome when installing or replacing top side thru hull fittings. When I had Touche' painted, I replaced all the white plastic thru hull fittings with chrome. See this picture for one of them.

The nicer, more expensive boats all have chrome fittings. The "other" boats have plastic. Yeah, a racer wouldn't want the extra weight. On the other hand, a metal fitting is less likely to break off. Call me a thru hull snob if you want but they just look better. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
