Just pulled the boat out to paint the bottom......again... and wanted to resolve my engine raw water thru hull valve issue. So, I tried to remove the 1/2" ball valve. It appears to be fused to the thru hull connector fitting. When I turn it, it turns the fitting. Tried multiple ways to hold the fitting in place... but to no avail..... Any suggestions on how to remove it? Maybe a chisel to the fitting from outside and try to remove the flange? Note that on the picture, the mostly disintegrated slotted cover plate has been removed.
Should I replace this with Marelon?
Thanks.. Jon
