Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the Holidays. Looking for input from those who have replaced thru hulls on their pilothouses. I have a 2001 2520 Pilothouse with a notched transom that I purchased this past July. This is my second boat and one that I want to make a 'boat for life'. Like many of you I am continuing to explore and make her more of my own with add-ons. One of the easy changes I am looking to do is replace the existing thru-hulls with stainless steel for the fore and aft bilges.
The port thru-hull towards the stern appears to be an inch and an eighth thru-hull and is a 90 degree that fits nicely with the bilge hose arising from the bilge.
Has anyone been able to match this thru-hull - meaning a 90 degree, inch and and eighth size. I found the straight inch and an eighth but not with the 90 degree angle. The straight thru-hull will appear to create a problem as the hose will be challenged to fit as it comes up from the bilge area and will need to make a sharp turn in a tight area.
I appreciate any input or where I may be able to locate an inch and an eighth stainless steel thru-hull that is 90 degrees. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.
