The thru hull skin fitting is damaged. Can't get a response out of Kongsberg via e-mail, MES in Bristol can't help. I need a new skin fitting - anyone know anyone who carries old spares for this gear. I've got B&G log as well but reluctant to chuck old gear which works OK as backup (and don't want a spare hole in the hull)!
O/d (hole) is 42mm, i/d is 27mm. I thought of replacing it with a paddle wheel /fitting from another manufacturer eg Nasa? (assuming 6.25 revs per knot). I could use B&G but would need to enlarge hull hole to circa 50mm and that's fiddly with steel hull, given big hole already there, altho' do have the tools to do it. Sounds like I'm talking myself into it.
Any thoughts (except Greenwich Maritime Museum!)?
