2010 210 Guardian - Installing Thru Hull Fitting
Posted: Sun May 02, 2021 7:30 pm
I have a 2018 210 Guardian. I want to install a through-hull fitting in the hull bottom for a raw water pump.
I believe the hull is the same as the 210 Montauk as the specifications are identical.
The through-hull fitting will be installed by a boat yard with lots of experience with pleasure and commercial vessels, but not many Boston Whalers.
Unless advised otherwise, I plan on installing the through-hull water for a water pick-up in the factory location shown on an old drawing I came across for a 210 Montauk, shown in Figures 1 and 2 below.
Brunswick Marine could not tell me whether the area would be solid epoxy or foam core.
My understanding is that if the area is foam core, some of the foam needs to be removed and packed with epoxy to form a "putty puck."
Please give advice on how to [remove foam and create a putty puck].
Please recommended materials to do this.
Your advice and recommendation be appreciated, and i will pass them along to the boat yard.
