Exhausts and through-hulls

What is meant by a through-hull?

Your vessel must have an opening through which incoming water can get out again. This is the case when you use direct cooling, where your engine is cooled with outside water. This flows through the engine block and eventually passes through the exhaust hose out again. Our outlet through-hulls are made of AISA 316 stainless steel, which means they are also seawater-resistant and can therefore be used on ships sailing on the high seas.

Does a through-hull need maintenance?

Yes indeed! After all, the system is designed to let water out. As long as water is given more and more free rein, you risk sinking your ship due to wear and tear. That can occur, for example, at the seal of your through-hull or at a faulty goose neck, the part that ensures the water can only go one way. When you return to sailing once the season arrives, it is therefore wise to check the exhaust hose and the clamps attaching it to your through-hull, as well as the quality of the watertight connection to the hull.
