More thru-hull work

This thru-hull from the bow pump-out, took me about an hour to clean, and about another hour to get back into the tight space from which it came... See picture on the right, I should have taken this photo with the tools I was using to try and tighten that thru-hull... this pic does not justice to the tight awkward spot this is... this is not a wide open space by any factor of the imagination. One has to squeeze arms through a flip access opening about 6"x12"...
Didn't get it tight tight tight, but hoping it's okay anyways...
also, foolishly lost one of the thru-hull nuts into the bilge of the boat when working under the sink in the head... a place where my hands cannot go... :( ugh.
it was the "safety" nut, so hopefully this thru-hull will stay in-place without for a little bit until i find another option....
