We are new to sailing, recently purchased a 1975
Dufour 24 as our beginner learn to
sail boat. Great condition, new
sails, the prior owner (couple years) didn't know about the
Thru Hull age.
Got it hauled out, and due to the virus issue wasn't able to get it to where I could do the
work. (After pressure
washing and
sanding, the bottom looked great, zero blisters)
New
bottom paint has been done and thru hull/ seacock is going to be replaced.
When they hauled and pressure washed it, the (only)
thru hull, which is unused currently. I believe this may have been for the sink drain, but it's currently not connected.
But I have never seen a thru
hull with a "Flow Diverter" not sure what you call it. But it's going to require cutting it out to remove the old thru
hull. Sorry crappy picture, I took a video after they pressure washed it and had to take a paused picture of the video.
Any ideas on this V-shaped flange over the outside of the thru-hull, and any special replacement issues? I have never seen one like this.
Also attached the inside view, old gate valve, maybe original. Don't know so that why they are both getting replaced.
