Understanding Thru Hull Fittings

Thru-hull fittings, sometimes called through hull fittings, are crucial installations that allow water to pass through a boat's hull for various systems. These fittings come in different materials, including:

• Bronze
• Stainless steel
• Plastic
• Aluminum
• Synthetic
• Marelon
• Chromed zinc

Proper installation of a boat through-hull fittings is essential to maintain structural integrity and prevent leaks. Our representatives can guide you in selecting the right thru-hull fitting for your specific needs.

The Importance of Thru Hull Strainers

Intake strainers work hand-in-hand with thru-hull fittings to protect your boat's systems. These marine thru-hull fittings with integrated strainers filter debris from incoming water, safeguarding engines, air conditioners, and other equipment from clogging and damage.

To enhance your boat's intake system, add a scoop strainer or install marine intake strainers inline before the water pump connections.

Maintenance: Key to Longevity

Regular maintenance of both thru hull fittings and strainers is important for an efficient operation. Annual inspections are particularly important, as improperly maintained fittings are a cause of boat sinking or engine overheating.
