[PSUBS-MAILIST] Electrical thru-hull

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Bob,
Does the penetrator start going in until it reaches the welded area.  I would guess the welded area has shrunk and not the entire length.  You need to take some measurements, the fitting may be out of round from welding.

 Fellow PSUBERS,
  
 I haven't posted really anything in the past and I
 don't have a project page with photos (I will work on
 getting my project on the site this week!) but have a
 question for everyone out there.  I am building a K
 boat.  I have the structure about 95% complete. 
 When I welded in my Electrical Thru-hull, they must have
 shrunk just a touch.  The penetrator won't slide
 through the fitting that I made.  The machinist that
 made most of my parts said that it would be better to hone
 them out than to take any material off the penetrator. 
 So I bought a honing tool and after several hours working on
 the first one, I have made zero progress! Has anyone
 else encountered this in the past and does anyone have any
 ideas?  Am I making any sense?
  
 Thanks!!
  
 Bob
