Hi,
I’m installing TruDesign through hull fittings which say they need at leat 20mm hull thickness. My hull where I am fitting a couple of them is only 7mm thick. Even though I am using the load bearing collar I figure I need backing plates.
The question is how big (diameter) should they be? If I am fitting a 1.5 inch through hull? Is there a ratio of hole size to backing plate size that gets used as a general rule?
Thanks.
