Thru Hulls

[Bpd92]

Need to replace some of the thru hulls in my boat this winter, any suggestions on type or specific brands you have found to be good quality and reasonably priced? I have to do 6 various sizes.

Bpd92,What are the sizes you need....small ones like 1/2 and 3/4 for like fuel shut off's. you can get those at home depo in bronze threaded...For engine intake i would use full flow from Groco...good luck

I recently e-mailed Buck Algonquin and asked if their bronze was smelt in this country, if their hardware was cast in this country, and what was the country of origin of their bronze. They never replied.

I'd second the Groco suggestion.

Groco or buck. Home depot is mostly brass and not bronze. Even though they look the same no no....

If you want top quality bronze hardware made in America you might take a look at Spartan Marine...they're a bit pricey but thru hulls are not an area to cut corners.
