Through Hulls

This is the 1/4” through hull for the depth gauges.  I had forgotten to add this through hull while I was making all the others so i was forced to weld it on out of position.  I tried to put it somewhere that would be easiest for welding.  I chose the forward encap, about 3/4 of the way down.  I drilled a 14mm hole so it was a tight fit.  This meant no gap at all which makes for an easier weld.  The pictures are very dingy, but I set my foot throttle proped up on a piece of wood (top picture, bottom right) so I could still operate it whilst lying on my back.  Very awkward and the inside was even worse.  I couldnt use the throttle at all so I just ran it on 110 amps.  Turned out pretty good in the end but it was quite tricky.
