How to install THRU HULL FITTINGS (TruDesign) [RED SEAS]

SUPPORT our boat refit: www.red-seas.com/refit and help us keep making these videos for you. This boat project is the main reason we hauled out and started this huge refit in the first place. Our sailboat is more than 20 years old and the thru hulls were all starting to corrode and look well past their best, and when something as crucial as the only thing stopping you from sinking is looking past its best...it's time to get to work! We are removing 17 bronze thru hulls from our boat and replacing them with newer, plastic ones from TruDesign. We'll add collars for extra strength where possible and we can't wait to have a more reliable solution in the boat. Things get tricky with a few of our thru hulls at the end but that just gives us an excuse to make another change on Indioko.

We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting! We live in search of the most remote places to live and sail so hit subscribe and join us on this adventure! 🗺️ Track 🗺️ https://www.noforeignland.com/boat/red-seas/journey?find=0&sid=6132493533052928&tc=1679925060879ieours
