Hi All,
I finished another photo based "how to" article/blog based on the replacement of my through-hulls and sea cocks that I completed last spring.
Take a look and let me know what changes I should make or if the instructions are clear enough for the average DIY boater.
My intent with these articles is to help the average boater save $$$. The labor time involved in this job was a lot and would have translated into a yard bill in excess of 2k if I had paid my boat yard to tackle this job.
I've had great responses, over 630 "thank you notes", on my "Re-Packing A Traditional Stuffing Box" article alone so I continue to do them to help fellow sailors in any way I can.
I hope this article helps as much as the others I've done..

The earlier great article is here: http://c34.org/bbs/index.php?topic=3611.0
Main : It's also VERY important that you also pay attention to "tapered" and "straight" threads when you are installing fittings in a propane system !!!!!! :idea:
Very good point!!!
