SEACOCKS AND THRU-HULLS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The thru hulls that are below the water line have 1/4-turn valves, which must be opened only during use. The quarter-turn
valve is open when the lever is in line with the pipe, and closed when it is at right angles.
Safety - Maintenance
Take special care to see that these valves are well maintained, have a good seal and work smoothly. Have a wooden
tapered plug, of correct diameter at hand, so that they can be plugged on the outside if, for instance, a seized valve has to
be dismantled, or lubricated.
After hot water has been run through a pipe for the first time, check the tightness of all the clamps.
NOTE:
THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ALSO APPLY TO THE COOLING SYSTEM OF THE INBOARD ENGINE
Close all the seacocks when you leave the boat.
The toilet is situated below the waterline; get into the habit of systematically closing the seacocks after each use.
Make sure that all seacocks, which are not used, are closed before you put out to sea.
