Get a few rolls of Teflon pipe tape. Or better still buy some round Teflon cord gasket material. Like o ring material but Teflon. Used for valve stem packing Figure out a way to put some upwards tension on the throughhull, to basically pull the outside flange hard against the hull. Make sure the bilge pumps are working, and have someone standing by on the Whale. There will be some water coming in during this operation, but no worse than cleaning a knotmeter paddlewheel. Slacken off the throughhull nut, till you have enough space to wrap the Teflon pipe tape, or cord underneath the nut and tight up against the throughull thread. Tighten the nut to compress the Teflon and form a seal where the throughhull penetrates the hull. It will get you through the summer. Yes I have done it. Good luck

The water in Lake Ontario is a bit nippy for me to take a splash and my marina crane is pretty busy with launches these days. Still thinking...
