Hey Bob I bought one of those fancy nondestructive moisture meters so I can track the water intrusion sources pretty easily. That rear bulkhead with the door all water came up from where it attached to the floor. We had resealed that attach point over and over, but at times water would come in...

Thanks Bob, I needed the extra nudge, so it got two additional layers of 1708 and I just finished making a fiberglass backing plate out of 1/4” material. That ought to do it. I’m just a little overwhelmed right now, boat project wise and was hoping to do it a little easier, but more importantly...

Hey Rick went thru all your pics, very nice clean set up! I went to the Groco site and the backing plates look great but are pretty specific to the Groco thru hull. It would be real interesting to know what that material is. I was thinking about using starboard but then there is the problem...

Hi Bob, it is not cored at my hole location I added two layers of 1708 at the location do you think that might be sufficient or should I still add some other type of blocking? Thanks, John

Yes, my hole is drilled. Added a couple layers of fiberglass yesterday, trying to decide if that is enough to suffice for a backing plate. I have two washdown systems on two different boats but there are no check valves installed anywhere inline like you stated. I wouldn’t be surprised If...

Hi Bob., Thanks for reiterating the backing comment! I have not sealed this through hull in yet I was waiting to get some SS fender washers as backers to the perimeter screws. Where I drilled my main 1/2” hole the fiberglass was about 1/4 inch thick. The perimeter screw holes below are even...

New washdown thru hull mounted aft

Thanks guys! Unfortunately I got the response and photo about 10 minutes after I crawled out of my hull from drilling the hole. :-) I installed a high speed bronze intake strainer. I put it it a little lower on the hull than the one in the picture. It is well below the center trailer guide...

Thanks Roger! I have the 24 tomcat, with your 25 I think you have a mounting bracket on the back for your motors that puts them further away than mine from the hull. Im assuming your intake is mounted on the tunnel side of the hull? Thanks

Hi guys, My current marine head and wash-down intake thru-hull was mounted near the bow on my 24 Tomcat. When underway the intake is out off the water. I wash my boat and clean fish while underway. I need a working wash down pump. Years ago I was at the Seattle Boat Show and saw a brand new...

Got the 2nd tank pulled out that wasn’t leaking, but is still getting replaced. My previous bedding job for that tank still looked great. Neoprene strips were all intact. The neoprene is forgiving with my slightly uneven bottom area where the tanks set. Neoprene sheet with a high durometer...

Thanks Bob and TSTURM for responding Bob, thanks so much for the detailed response. I also read the article and it was valuable. Glad to see you’re still on here offering up quality advice. I’ve been gone for a while. I have 0 clearance to work with vertically getting this tank in and out of...

Hello all, I am replacing the leaking fuel tanks (58 Gal each) on my 20 year old C-Dory Tomcat. There is a tank in each "pontoon". I don't want them to set directly on the fiberglass bottom of the boat. The manufacturer originally had them setting on large goops of 5200. I had the tanks out 8...
