Re: Stus-List replacing cockpit drain thru hulls 30 MK1

The correct approach in my opinion. I always figured that the whole point to having straight pipe threads in the first place was so that you could make something like a compression flange fitting in one part and then cut a regular tapered thread on the end. Makes a lot of sense for tanks, and

Forespar make Marlon ball valves with NPS threads in sizes from ½” to 1 ½”. (They also make ball valves with NPT, but NPT valves are for plumbing and not thru hulls.) They also supply a range of tailpieces to connect the valve to a hose. Here is a link to the listing on West Marine:

One of the reviews on the Harbor Freight site reads as follows. If 1800 - 1900 watts is enough output for your application then this will be a great little generator until it breaks, then you throw it away as it is made in China and parts will not be available. 1800 - 1900 watts is roughtly what

In a re-fit many years ago I looked for replacement thru-hulls. After not having success finding a replacement I got a NPT cutter head for a 'Rigid' pipe threading machine, from the local rental shop. You can adjust the "bite" of the cutter so I started off loose and cut some taper threads

I have a similar one. They work. They are also loud and use gasoline instead of diesel. It's a pull start only. They don't offer a 12v output. They are not marinized, flame arrested or corrosion proof/resistant to the level needed for long term marine use. They are also air cooled and

Re: Stus-List Stus-list: portable generator on sale at harbor freight

As Josh stated, it is not the same as a marinized, built in diesel genset. But it is only $400.00 It really depends on what you want to do with it. Run your AC? I don't think so. Charge your batteries through your onboard battery charger as you are away from shore power? Yes, it will do that.

Re: Stus-List Stus-list: portable generator on sale at harbor freight

You'll be able to charge up on the hook/mooring with your engine. If you aren't able to be there regularly I suspect you could last easily up to 2 months without a charge. The bilge pump would be the single most likely load. If it drains your battery you probably have bigger problems to worry

Surette (Rolls in the USA) are very good batteries (perhaps the best wet batteries out there) with longer than average life (and higher than average prices to match) and you shouldn't be in a hurry to replace them unless you are sure they have been damaged. Ken H. Established in 1935, Surrette

Re: Stus-List replacing cockpit drain thru hulls 30 MK1

IMO, 5200 doesn't belong anywhere near a thru-hull. If mine had been put in with 5200 I doubt I would have been able to get them out to replace the backing plates. And since (as I have said) they were in poor condition they had to come out. As it was with a Groco step wrench and a bit of heat
