Close all the seacocks when you leave the boat.
- Make sure that all seacocks are closed when not in use, except bilge pumps and LPG locker drains.
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.
Opening and closing of the seacocks
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
- Warning, while under way the stern tube and engine water inlets must be open. But should be closed when you leave the boat.
The toilet is situated below the waterline; get into the habit of systematically closing the seacocks after each use.
