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.

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”.

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
