In essence, you remove the old to hull valve and pipe, grind the volcano flat and install a new bronze pipe and ball valve.

Here's a link. Scroll down to "To" hull pipe vs. Thru-Hull Fitting. http://barnaclebillholcomb.blogspot.com/2017/

Catalina Direct also offers several plastic parts that can work for decades.
The actual through-hull mushroom piece

And the seacock ball valve

Note about hose clamps:
1. Always use stainless steel clamps. Test them out using a small magnet or your navigational compass. It they’re at all magnetic, then they are NOT SS.
2. Always use two in tandem, because when one fails, you’ll have a backup clamp.
