Broken through-hull fitting

Post by Einar Gloersen »

I’ve experienced that the through-hull fitting for the bilge pump was broken. Since I think this was caused by force applied to the house from the seat above I suggest all other owners to check theirs. When doing some work in that area, I noticed the tube could be moved, but I had to apply some force before the through-hull fitting came off. The problem was solved with a new fitting from Quorning and a little longer tube between the fitting and the one-way valve.
