- 1978 Mainship 34 Perkins T6.354
I have a 1978 Mainship with what appears to be a bronze thru-hull for the exhaust. It's 4" diameter and I'd like to replace it during the next haul-out.
It looks old and it's such a critical part I don't want to mess around. It looks like it's a straight flange with no angle. The bronze one from Buck Algonquin has a 16 degree angle and no flap. Vetus makes a resin-reinforced one with a flap, but bronze seems more trust-worthy. Does anyone have any experience with the Vetus exhaust through-hull?
Thanks,
RR
