Looking for suggestions on what setup to use for replacing my engine raw water intake thru-hulls.
Currently there is a scoop style thru-hull, with a seacock (w/ flange) threaded directly on top. The seacock is sitting off the inside hull by about an inch, and thus is not screwed in place. Removing the 4 tiny screws holding the outside scoop in place, and the entire assembly came loose quite easily.
Q: What’s the preferred configuration, and should I continue to use a scoop pickup?
This seems to be a good setup, and If needed I can add a scoop over the thru-hull. Thoughts?
