[PSUBS-MAILIST] Electrical thru-hull

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

You are making total sense and I have had to do exactly the same thing
several times. I'm not sure what your "honing tool" is. I use a set of
adjustable reamers from Harbor Freight, and they do the job in short order
despite being cheapo. See Harbor Freight item ##38577.

Best,

Alec
