seacock

I am looking to replace the seacock on my water intake for my 1974 E27 during a haul out. The seacock is in rough shape as you can see. I'm reading that the thru hull is a 1/2" so I'm wondering what size, style, and type of seacock I would need to replace. I'm open to replacing the thruhull as...

Hello all, Just recently acquired my 1969 Ericson 32. She has a weeping seacock on starboard side for the main seawater intake. It seems like I could grease it to minimize the weeping. Has anyone elsefixed this issue before and if so what did you do? I am hesitating to tighten it up, so am...

I am pulling my 1972 e32 for survey and bottom paint. The seacock valves for the in and out of the head and holding tank look original, the old screw down valve and are pretty corroded. I thought i might as well replace them while I'm out. Can anyone recommend a good brand that isn't overpriced...

After worrying about old hoses giving way I finally think I located all the throughhulls and went to the effort of closing all of them when we left - what a pain ! :-) I think there are only 6 but the two in the engine room are the ones that really make me wish there was a way to control...

I'm getting ready to dismantle the current head and holding tank setup this week to clean and paint the bilges, and then rebuild the system. It must be at least 25 years old, and is due for replacement. There is a Y valve with direct discharge or to the tank; the tank is located under the...

After all the discussion here on seacocks, materials, backing plates, etc, and etc. First, note that this IS a real "seacock," and not a valve screwed onto a threaded thruhull pipe. So, while browsing the still-up PSC web site I found this diagram in the sample docs for the PSC Crealock 37...

seacocks have mounting holes for through bolting but this doesn't make sense to me on a fiberglass install. 1- any impact would pull the head of the fasteners through the hull. Even with the blocking. 2-you have more exposed metal [the heads of the fasteners] with very little surface area in...
