I have a 2850 Bayliner Contessa Fly bridge 1983. I would like to install
another bilge pump and breather for the new holding tank, both need another hole through the port side of the boat. Is their any directions, book, or writings that will tell me how to do this? Thank you! |

![]() I've seen "through hull fittings" described in boat maintenance books at the public library. A search of the Internet on "installing through hull fittings" might bring up something online.

If solid fiberglass, just use a hole saw, an appropriately sized drill motor, and have at it. Bed the fitting with a good polysulfide bedding compound, assemble loosely for a few days, retighten, and trim off the squeeze out. If this is for a holding tank pumpout, give some thought to the esthetics (not to mention the environment). |
