Have you Checked Your Through Hull Fittings ?

Didn't think so... better add them to the list!

     

 Thru Hull fittings and valves or seacocks (either Plastic or Bronze) are your first defense if a hose lets loose or a hose clamp fails. The should be inspected, exercised and lubricated annually - and it's much easier out of the water ! 

 Walk around the boat and see how many and where they are on the hull. Then go inside and locate them... any surprises ? Do some homework to use the correct lube and get busy. Remember that every underwater hose should have two stainless steel hose clamps. Do you have a set of tapered wooden or plastic bungs onboard should a thru hull fitting fail?
