Paul, are you saying you reused the existing through hulls with new valves?
I was wondering if they were some metric thread on the hull side of the
valve.

I have a 1979 and the thruhulls are in good shape . . . I have had only one
fail . . .

The valves on the other hand I would scrap (and have) in a heartbeat . . .

When I first bought the boat in 1993 it was on the hard. In a plumbing
frenzy we took all of the valves off and serviced them. When we went to
assemble them surprise surprise the parts of each valve were not
interchangeable. They had to be tested to find their original valve . . .
image the combinations and permutations . . . and yah and the time . . .
should have trashed them all then but one by one over the years I have rid
them all.
