Everything looks OK but, this will sink your boat! š±š±š± Change Yours Now!
Join Patryn David as he uncovers the critical need for replacing through-hull fittings in this riveting episode of SV Impavidus. Discover the dangerous truth behind relying on outdated and potentially compromised fittings that could leave your boat sinking beneath you!
Through Hull Fittings Deteriorating Despite Appearing OK
In their latest video, David and the crew show just how crucial it is to replace these critical components on a regular basisānot just based on visual inspection. They demonstrate one such fitting that crumbled at the mere tap of the floor, revealing a completely rotted-through metal junction with the through-hull.
Urgent Need for Replacement
The team emphasizes that relying solely on visual inspections can be misleading, as these fittings may look fine from the outside but could be severely compromised. This is evident in a series of through-hulls showcasing signs of distress and corrosionāsome already at 50% deterioration.
Actionable Steps for Maintenance
The crew showcases their process, removing old fittings and replacing them with new ones. The removal includes cleaning out the horsehair packing around the through-hulls before installing the fresh replacements.
Ensuring Safety with Regular Replacement
The SV Impavidus team underscores that regular replacement is non-negotiable for the safety and longevity of any boat. These crucial components may seem like a small detail but can be the difference between a safe journey and a disastrous experience at sea.
Key Takeaways
<!– wp:list ->- Through-hull fittings must be replaced on a regular schedule, not just by visual inspection.
- Fittings can appear in good condition from the outside while being severely compromised inside.
- Routine maintenance is vital to avoid costly and dangerous surprises at sea.
Take Action Now
To safeguard your boat, do not wait for disaster to strike. Inspect and replace your through-hull fittings on a regular schedule, as emphasized in the SV Impavidus video.

Welcome to our channel.
We are now in season 7
In 2018 we left the UK to sail around the world slowly. After Brexit, a "Pandemic" and major heart surgery we are still sailing, documenting our travels and showing you what we have learned so far.
We are hoping to complete our journey, and travel right around the world even if we have had a few setbacks along the way. We will continue at our own pace and that may be fast or slow. We want to be sure not to miss anything and have stories to tell our grandchildren when we are old and grey.
Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
