Hi Folks, My boat is on the hard in Canada and has been for 3 months. During my usual routine inspection, I noticed some strange cracks in the fiberglass around the raw water seacock. The boat is a Beneteau 423. It seems I forgot to open the seacock after the boat was on the hard to drain the fresh (river) water from the line.
I usually close this seacock while the boat is in the water and run a few gallons of antifreeze and then open it again once I pull the boat.
I plan to replace the seacock and scupper, but the fiberglass looks a little suspicious. Do I have anything to worry about here? The area of the hull is quite well re-inforced. The seacock is about 4 inches from the skeg and stern tube.
