Camille Milligan and Jesse replace the aging bronze through-hulls and seacocks on their sailboat with TruDesign composite fittings while hauled out at Rebak Marina in Langkawi, Malaysia.▶ 0:15 The crew removes the old, seized bronze hardware by grinding the outer flange until the fitting can be driven through the hull from the outside.▶ 1:56 After measuring the existing holes and hose diameters with electronic calipers, they source replacement TruDesign components from Marine Supplies Asia in Chenang.▶ 6:59 The installation process involves sanding the hull surface to bare fiberglass, cleaning with acetone, and applying Sikaflex sealant to the skin fitting.▶ 9:27 The crew custom-cuts the threaded skin fittings to ensure a flush fit before threading on the seacocks and securing them with a load-bearing collar for the engine intake.▶ 10:37 After allowing the sealant to cure for 24 hours, they tighten the fittings and reconnect the hoses.▶ 12:38 Replacing corroded, seized bronze through-hulls with composite fittings eliminates the risk of structural failure and ensures reliable operation of the vessel's underwater valves.
