[QUOTE="Lost, post: 447944, member: 22427"] I did something a little different on mine. I purchased new through hull fittings and installed them. I then made my own expanding plugs using scientific stoppers and putting a bolt/nut/washer assembly through the middle. When I cranked down on the bolt, it would expand the rubber plug creating a seal. As a backup to this system, I took a small length of my extra bilge tubing and made a "U" shaped loop between the two through hull fittings. Even if water got through the plugs (which it hasn't yet), it would just flow back out. [/QUOTE]
