Hi Brian,
I figured it was something like that. Nothing wrong with a 27:1 safety
ratio anyway. :)
Other than the labor of cutting and grinding the thru-hulls, I can't
think of any reason you couldn't reuse the flanges if you wanted to.

Jon,
Back when I started I was
designing for a 3/8" thick pressure hull and more depth, now I'm
leaning toward a 1/4" pressure hull. I made the viewport flanges a
long time ago. BTW, what would be the feasibility if someday I
decided to upgrade to a thicker pressure hull and wanted to cut out
those viewport flanges and reweld them into a different pressure hull?
Aside from a lot of grinding would there be any issues that would
prevent one from doing that that you know of? The viewing area is
actually only 4.5"
