Transom thickness anyone have an idea?
 
I’ve got a 1989 Formula 272 Sr1 looking to run some 33c cables for my drive indicators thru the transom. Anyone know how thick it is I’m trying to figure out if these fittings would work for me or not. Anyone have an idea.

Just did transom work on my 1987 242 and the transom was 2" thick. If I am reading your dims correct they look too short between the outside portion and the nut.
Good luck.

just replaced my transom & we used two 1" coosa boards, so over two inches by time u include the inner & outer glass sections.

i agree, just looking at the overall measurement & then eyeing the nut to hull portion, they look too small.

these are the thru-hulls i bought for my drives & tabs indicators

Yea I was wanting the 45 degree ones or the straight ones like the link that i am attaching in this response however both are out of stock and I am trying to finish this project to be done with it and I have no idea when they will be back in stock.

Might want to try getting ahold of Mike Mello aka SickStinger here on OSO. I bet he has some.
