[C38] Through-Hull Fittings

[Larry Malmberg Live]

So what do you think Tom T?  Which is the best to use?  I'm guessing Marlon
as that's what you used.

I replaced my bronze thru-hulls with Marlon.  I greased them with waterproof
trailer grease and they operated for years without problems.

The bronze thru-hulls I replaced had not been electrically bonded and they
were badly corroded.
