Best way to pass an exhaust hose through a bulkhead

What is the suggested way to pass a 2 inch Vetus exhaust hose through a plywood baulkhead? Should I cut an oversize hole and caulk with something like "lifecaulk" to reduce chaffing? Is this even neccessary?

Hi Glen,

Thats exactky what I am doing, passing the exhaust hose through the lazerette bulkhead enroute to the goosenech mounted on the inside of the transom.. I just wasnt sure if I needed to worry about chaffing. I appreciate the input.

I would worry. After drilling this over sized hole it wouldn't hurt to sand the sharp corner on either side of the bulkhead to make the entire opening smooth and rounded.
