look at these I bought through hulls

which would be the drain through colors

for galley and heads sinks true design

as you can tell made in New Zealand as

you probably know not cheap

well some pizza check the actual

through-hole is is not very expensive at

all unless you're for a while that you

put that obviously a hole through the

hollow answer through hull and port

within show thin that soon when we get

that half this is a load-bearing collar

that simply sits on the inside of the

hull and and spreads the load from at

all and it claims disregards raise it up

to 500 pounds it claims this is the

Seahawk all plastic is a composite

plastic fiber reinforced plastic lovely

lovely

no chance no danger of really trauma sis

going on there really nice seat got

those bits on the market cheaper and

then you've got the option of a strike

or an angled adapter at the moment of

angle one there may need change to a

straight one it also not particularly

sensitive it's all all true design stuff

all from the same manufacturer assembles

all right and it looks very lovely I

think I have a very good reputation

these as you may well know I'm a few

people fearing them that's great so I've

got two of those ready to go I say one

for the galley one for the hates

plus

I'm open the packet things all looks

like this but this if I take that

through higher and there again this is

supposed to fit you've got a couple of

notches on the through hollow there and

obviously you want to stop it turning

when you're fitting it so you push that

in there that's all locates in there and

you can hold the through hard Wiley off

or little tightening up that nut and

also can't fall now when you're done you

just press that it's to in simply press

those doing and then as it comes he says

yes it does so let the tour also

squatching so then do it's three bucks

at things if it makes the job easier

worse for Euro you're gonna set back

together in the box

[Music]

[Music]

hello write a speech Pacha I'm Tony

we're building a sailboat as you

probably heard me say before unless

you're new of course and well this week

I'm going to get straight into it this

week because we've done something one of

those things that is a fairly worrying

part of a boat build and you know we

drilled two holes through the hull

possibly below the waterline at all

below the waterline scary business and

fitted through holes into there so

through hulls we fitted are the ones for

the drain for the galley sink and the

head sink they're in there under and one

day I suppose I'll just fitted them you

see one sticking through there at the

moment they just fitted in there

obviously was sick of latest reading on

one eye sealant and then up is just hand

tight we've used these um through design

through holes so that moment nuts hang

tight

we let the sick of flicks set off a bit

inside not the nut a bit although the

directions from true designer the nut

shouldn't be more than 15 pounds feet so

it's not particularly tight a little nip

on the on the nut and then we can fit

that seefox the ball goes on there

that's very wobbly

ya know right Terry

how about stop drilling off

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

see that so book is very nice by mag

drill 33-millimeter but the hope is

going to be the right diameter for the

through holes first job try I'm gonna

pick it out of here these are supposed

to be great you see apparently it's

gonna go and cut a hole check it fits

over for the through holes first job

also you supposed to you a very little

break out or cut a little bit but it's

pretty clean I suppose good my question

is does that fit through there and

always perfect it's absolutely perfect

beautiful so as as I said very little

break out but I want to have absolutely

no break out so all I want to be able to

do is to drill all from both sides of

the hull I want to be able to drill a

very small hole through to give me the

location and work from both sides at

least a little bit from one side and

then through from the other and the

question now is is whether that little

point there what size of hole locking

jaws does have that still locate without

it wandering around so I'm going to try

now drilling a small hole through that

ply and see how that locates so

interpreter three millimeter first run

the three more holes from de-identify

against the point of that drill and and

it looks like you'll be okay

security guard

[Applause]

suppose it's okay

certainly lined up on pages so it did

locate the point

yeah that's good yesterday look at that

somebody lovely that's right

happy

[Applause]

[Music]

didn't the Golden Sun bud

[Applause]

[Music]

good put the water on and then at home

again and then tape it up and have a

measure what we got that it's all the

way in is it flush there good just

nipping out help

well let's lift out and then if I major

what we've got sticking out we should

have 15 memory has beyond the

nut and we've got more 30 bears I'm

gonna take ten mil off of it so that

they're not all for getting down we're

gonna take us to share the short of it

okay you can pull it out or into the

ship look at that we got 65 milk when

it's tight at least we need say 10 to 12

mil off of that

[Music]

[Music]

it's pretty good that you see that the

weights come off on the nut there's it's

pretty live with a nut there okay and

ideally the offense that spot that spot

wants to be down here to see what me

when I take it off I'm gonna pull it

back in with the glue on if it says that

way around so these these two knobs are

the other way around that knob is there

and that note was there that pencil line

yeah always used to cut them at an angle

and recently I've read somewhere

recently from somebody said if you

present Australian I started doing

Australian and I prefer it

it's amazing that so amazing I'm there I

have the things the tendency to put too

much officers sort of so paranoid about

it leaking in it we're gonna run around

on a yeah

surely no thank you

not much of that can go out with near or

flee if we were only got 20 mil thick

but we all do want to try and see them

as much of the inside of that place but

I'll still have to put it pops you

remember them good something like that

now all you've got they hit their back

through the hole don't know that stuff

okay

oh man I wonder if I should put it more

round there I don't think my sure if I

think it's been squeezed out before mrs.

you can't even see the good oh yes Shh

all right so he's get in position

cuz you little blue thing I've got a

camera I should bring it over yeah good

sir would have been a good idea terribly

get rid of it if you want to go in and

push that breathing

just have to squeeze it and push it

yep lovely hang it perfect okay you've

got pencil I'm down the bottom I should

be good yeah

[Laughter]

we've put them in in a way that we we

believe at least that the born Crocs are

facing the right direction

voila I've read from trip through

designed again you can you can use the

three nine one I as a thread sealant and

put on the thread before you screw the

ballcock from there as soon as the

thread and also allows it because it's

an adhesive sealant it allows you to

position the ballcock some extent

although personally I'd be happier if

the ballcock threaded on tight against

the load-bearing collar and and in the

right position that's the goal that's

what we've tried to do is we want to see

have a successful lens be where we got

to fit the bull salzburg and we did a

dry run and they were in the correct

position with the dry run so hopefully

this you know the thickness of the

sealant isn't can't be very much still

being the correct position but find out

well of an awkward camera angle but it's

the next day now and we're supposed to

to nip up for that not all the true

design through how supposed to be

maximum of fifteen thousand true it's

not very tight so just gonna there are

water pump pliers and put on there give

it a nip then we'll fit the seat box

that is fifteen pounds feet I'm quite

confident so you've got it

the through all of the load-bearing

collar go on there now and the true

design people say we can use that to

nine one six blitz as a thread sealant

so just got to get some of it around

that thread there which I suspect is

going to involve me doing that little

finger

[Music]

yeah but this will work I'll just put

the check back on them get help the

white glove off to try and not cover

myself in super flips right so it's not

look at it there's no hexagonal thing on

there it just goes on behind you brother

things you wear you put a grip on there

turn it yeah yeah yeah that's good

that's good yeah that one could go

loads up just really but it just go

through one the heads okay have a little

look

it's me attempting to illuminate a

through hole in my cupboard right very

good

we let that sit there looking good and

that is it for this week with cracking

on I sin or I've mentioned I think last

time that that get ready to paint the

exterior I've measured up I'm about to

order I think probably by the time you

watch this video I will have ordered the

epoxy barrier coat primer for the

exterior so that's getting very very

fluent and I don't know if you will see

that next video because the video is

always by their nature a few days behind

but very soon when we're painting the

outside at least with bearing a coat

primer which I'm very excited about the

inside is nearing completion thanks for

watching yourself thumbs up subscribe

the boat grill goes on in these strange

times I hope you're well and safe and
