[PSUBS-MAILIST] thru hulls

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
Sorry, my memory failed me, I just measured a spare o ring for the reach rod and it is .100 not .125 so it is a bit smaller.

 Hank,
        That is an incredibly deep
 groove, and I don't see the reason for it.  I was
 considering going with that size but getting a grooving tool
 to go .125 thousandths is a long way to go, especially in a
 1/2" hole !

 Brian,
 Gamma has 1/8 orings, I would go with 1/8 might be more
 forgiveness.

  Hi
  All,             
  Starting in on thru hull production.  I will need
  probably close to a dozen of them.  I'm making them
  all to accept a 1/2" stainless shaft, and I will be
  using 1/16"  O rings.  I don't see any
  need to use thicker diameter O
  rings ,  since the deeper O ring grooves
  can be a bit more problematic.   By the time my
  welder finishes all the remaining critical welds I should
  have my thru hulls done.   Also working on my
  forward hard ballast tank, approx. 18" in dia X 5'
  long
  .  Cheers, Brian
