I might be in depending on price.! Keep informed please.

Thanks,

ABI used to make them.  The Pipes for the W43 are 3in inside and 5 inch outside (1" flange)

There is a co. in Germany that may have them off the shelf9http://www.toplicht.de ).  For now I ordered a 3" exhaust thru hull which is out of polymer because I need it fixed ASAP from http://bpi.ebasicpower.com/pc/MUFTH-030-0000/ALL5D. 

Eventually I'll need real bronze Hawse pipes.  Am looking for others in the same situation so that perhaps we can do a group order either through Toplicht or Stephen's contacts.  Port Townsend said they'd make them too.  I surmised that economy of scale may help Westsailor's get a group deal.

Edward, keep us informed and pictures! I am interested in how it comes out for you.

Thanks

Regarding hawse pipes, I have a couple of observations after installing one of Stephen's (original design) as a scupper, and two of the cast bronze that Bud sold (one as a scupper, and one as a hawse pipe.) Regarding the original design spun pipes, if your space is longer than would allow an overlap of at least a centimeter of the edges, the result is really suboptimal. Whereas with the cast type you can use two of the longer sections cut to fit, you do not have that option with the spun type. Second, the cast pipes never seem to properly align in the rubber hose (in my two installations anyway.) Generally, I like the cast pipes better, and they are much more robust. I wonder if they would align better if the outer surface of the pipe were threaded and the pipe put together with a coupler (like a real pipe) rather than inside a section of exhaust hose. 

What I did for an interim fix which is working well is to buy the 3" ABS exhaust thruhulls and a piece of 3" ID ABS pipe.  The result is fairly robust although still plastic.  Keep to bronze if possible because they are heavy and good.  I needed a repair so went with what I could cobble together.  My fix will last for years until I get around to a better bronze "permanent" fix.
