Through-hull assemblies and their associated plumbing are the number one reason that boats sink. Standard brass fittings installed by some manufacturers, or added by owners, are subject to dezincification and can fail catastrophically. This can sink a boat very quickly.

Bronze seacocks are not immune to problems as some models have standard brass valve stems, which can suffer from dezincification and then fail, rendering the valve inoperable.
In order to avoid these problems we replaced all our through-hull assemblies with DZR Brass fittings and this video shows you exactly how we did it. We cover every step of the job.
