Sea Cocks
Several of the boat’s systems are connected to the surrounding water through hoses connected to inlet
or outlet fittings. Fittings that are close to, or below the water line are protected by ball valves known as
“sea cocks”. Sea cocks are intended primarily to prevent water from entering the boat through the fittings
while maintenance is being carried out on the system concerned, or in the unlikely event of a leak or
hose fracture. In general, a sea cock is shut when its handle is at right angles to the pipe, and is open
when its handle is parallel to the pipe as shown opposite.
Hoses are marked to aid system identification, as shown opposite.
.
Caution: Serious damage may be caused if equipment is operated with its sea cock closed.
When leaving the vessel unattended, Fairline recommends that all sea cocks are left shut.
If waste holding tanks are fitted, their discharge sea cocks should normally be kept shut except
when discharging their contents to the sea.
