Went to replace a valve on the bronze Thru hull and the whole thing turned.
So I'm gonna have to remove and redo the whole thing.

SO.......
How do i keep it from turning when i tighten it?
ALso, anyone know what kind of sealant/adhesive I should use for this, I think the regular old silicon won't do it.

Also someone told me the through hull should be "grounded" to a zinc. The boat never had one and i've not had any corrosion trouble so I'm not sure about that.

Suggestions are welcome.
