Portland, ME Meet-up

Typhoon anchor pins

I need to replace the pins that holds the anchor line in place at the bow.

bronze thru-hull

Having read this post, I've decided to replace my old equipment.
Here's the question: Must the thru-hull be replaced? I understand that I'm down in there replacing everything else, but if it looks okay, should I bother with it?
-Thanks so much, Jeff
