[C38] Through-Hull Fittings

[Larry Malmberg Live]

None of ours are mushroom at all and I think they are all ok for now.

	If you choose plastic, read the specifications very carefully.  Some
are not rated for below the waterline.  I don't know why anyone would want
one not rated for below waterline usage, but I know that some are not.
Check out a book called "This Old Boat" for some other information as well.

I'm pretty old school, I chose the bronze mushroom fittings. Not as sleek I
know and you racers out there would bemoan the drag of them, but the man at
the yard wasn't sure what we would find when trying to recess them into the
23 year old hull.
