My boat was built in 2001 and it has white Marelon thru-hulls above the waterline (for drains and scuppers). They appear in good condition, with some exterior surface weathering, but at 17 years-old I’m wondering what the expected life should be. Most are in the engine compartment, and the engine is out for service. The connected hoses also appear flexible and in good shape, but I’m thinking I might replace all (as preventative maintenance) while I have access.
It’s going to add a few hundred dollars in materials and a few days of contorted labor, and I’m wondering if I’m just making work for myself.
Am curious about expected life and experiences of others with educated opinions.
