1998 CONQUEST UNSPECIFIED MODEL Broken Through Hull Repair

Postby mccarth » Sat May 17, 2025 10:48 am

When removing the drain plug [probably means a transom drain plug on 1998 CONQUEST UNSPECIFIED MODEL] the plastic through hull fitting broke off inside the stern [perhaps means transom]. The fitting looks like it has threads. I was told [by some unknown source] they are not threaded.

Q1: how are broken plastic through hulls on a 1998 CONQUEST UNSPECIFIED MODEL repaired?

[Modeator’s note: when referring to a particular Boston Whaler boat, ALWAYS provide the model year, the family name, and the model indicator. For example: 1990 (model year) OUTRAGE (family) 22 notched transom (model indicator).

Please carefully read this prior discussion on a very similar and very cogent topic at

2000 18 VENTURA Scupper or Thru-hull Repair
https://continuouswave.com/forum/viewto ... f=6&t=3759

Please follow the hyperlink in that discussion that points to the youTube presentation made by Boston Whaler on this topic, which was posted about 13 years ago.

Failure of the plastic through hull fittings used by Boston Whaler in that production epoch is apparently rather common.
