So, the Cherubini is my first boat with Seacocks. They were all replaced last fall (by the Marina), so I am confident they are not leaking (yeah - right)!
I also sealed with 3M 5200 around each thru-hull before bottom painting.
My question is...
The Engine manual says to close the Engine Seacock after sailing, and open it before sailing. Is this necessary? Access to my Engine is not the easiest thing. Also, do you recommend closing the gray water seacocks after docking, even if you plan to go out the next day? I suppose it is a safe thing to do if staying overnight...
