Best way to pass an exhaust hose through a bulkhead
What is the suggested way to pass a 2 inch Vetus exhaust hose through a plywood baulkhead? Should I cut an oversize hole and caulk with something like "lifecaulk" to reduce chaffing? Is this even neccessary?

Hi Glen,
Thats exactky what I am doing, passing the exhaust hose through the lazerette bulkhead enroute to the goosenech mounted on the inside of the transom.. I just wasnt sure if I needed to worry about chaffing. I appreciate the input.

I would worry. After drilling this over sized hole it wouldn't hurt to sand the sharp corner on either side of the bulkhead to make the entire opening smooth and rounded.falcon wrote:Hi Glen,
