I'm planning to install a Dickinson solid fuel heater in our 1976 O'Day 25. This requires a 5 inch diameter hole through the cabin top for the 3 inch flue. The hole location would be just abaft the mast and just to port of center.
My question is what is the core material and any preferred method and/or precautions for cutting the hole? Also, how should the exposed core be finished off?
I suspect I'm opening a 'can o worms' but I hate surprises like finding the can full of frogs instead.
I could sure use any help you might give.
Thanks much, Geohan
