EACOCKS
Ball valve seacocks are installed on the thru hulls for the livewell, washdown, air/cooler
pumps, generator systems and some head features. It is necessary for the seacocks to be in the
“open” position for operation. The “open” position is identified by the orientation of the handle. If
the handle is in line or parallel to the body of the valve, the seacock is in the “open” position. If
the handle is perpendicular to the body of the valve, the seacock is in the “closed” position. For
seacocks with remote arms installed, the “open” position can be obtained by pulling up on the
remote arm attached to the seacock handles. Pushing down on the remote arm closes the seacock.
