Through Hull Issue

<< < (2/2)

Valor:
Thank you very much for that info. @Bob, just so I understand, The valve is removed by un-threading the thru hull fitting from outside of the boat, correct?  Is there a special tool needed to spin the thru hull and if so, where do you get it since they don't make the valve anymore? My boat is currently on the hard, if I wrap any wires or hoses near the valve with aluminum foil and use a heat gun on the seacock, could that free it up? Thanks again!

Rusty Pelican:
Yes, you are correct on how to remove the seacock.
 
There was (or is) a tool somewhere. I just jury rigged a tool to do the job.
Try the torch/heat gun fix first, it may free it up.

I use anhydrous lanolin as my lube for all my seacocks, rigging and stanchions
