RE: Thru- Hulls

Rob,

When using cement what did you use to adhear the cement to the Glass if anything?

I worry about water between the two. I have considered filling my keel, but with my stuffing box dripping there is always some water below the engine in my keel.

Perhaps*this is not an issue but I have heard of issues with fiberglass in constant contact with water a sort of osmotic wicking of the water into the glass. not unlike blisters but from the inside.
