Looks handy for working on seacocks

while in the water. Wouldn't do any good for the flanged type though. I'd only use this while on the boat where I could keep watch and have everything I need before starting.

hello

WOW... that looks like it works great for problems when on the water... makes doing repairs easier to control water flooding into the cabin during the changing.... as I am on a lake, all I have to do it pull my boat out , fix the problem, and drop it back in.... but I would think having 1 or 2 of those on board, just in case something happened while out sailing would be a good idea...

sincerely

Brilliant!yet so simple.

Totally ingenious, what an invention !!

Nice idea but I would have a backup plan. It is possible when removing the seacock, especially if on there for a long time, you could break the seal on the thru hull.

Good call, got to keep the tapered plugs handy!

This would make the seacock through hull a bung-hole.

(I didn't even have to try)

Great idea, but a barnacle or two on the outside of the thru-hull might prevent it from sealing. Very handy, but merlinuxo is right, they are no substitution for plugs.

An epoxy stick, like J-B Weld WaterWeld, is also good when you need a temporary leak fix that will last a little longer. I've used the West marine brand, and it adheres well to wet surfaces.

Especially if it's the head discharge.
