Hi Joel, I mention the mixed threads as a warning. Don't see any way around it. My fittings are tight.
FYI, I helped my brother replace a seacock on his Boston Whaler 23. Hi quality boat. The bronze thru-hull had a 6" long nipple with non-tapered threads. A mushroom shaped nut secured the thruhull to the inner hull, then a bronze valve w tapered threads screwed down onto the end. Maybe I could rethread the marelon fittings w a pipe threader? I'll have to try that.

Your seal is only as good as the glue because you don't have enough surface contact between the threads.I like the idea of a tee, but I have not gotten around to installing one. Joe, I only winterized the fresh water and waste. I figure the Bay water is still in the mid-40s and I'm in salt water, so I should be OK with the engine. Am I delusional? Joel 35/3 Annapolis
