Is anybody familiar with the thru-hulls on an '06 378 Vista? At what point do they need to be replaced? Factory material? Recommended replacements? |

Why would you replace a thru hull? |

They fatigue and eventually fail (especially if you trailer the boat or they get exposed to sunlight). If the thru-hull is below the water line the boat can sink if the sump pump(s) don't keep up. I've seen 2 boats go down in our marina due to a lack of paying attention to thru-hull fittings. Some manufacturers use brass which do not fail. |
