Hi all,
I am struggling to replace the thru-hull and seacock for the marine toilet. Not only is the space pretty tight, a replacement using parts from Groco cannot be installed because there is not enough space. The elbow cannot be screwed into the valve.
I called Groco to see what they would suggest, and they recommended a flanged valve. I told them this might be difficult because of the location and sent them some pictures. With the pictures, they recommended this.
That will certainly fit, but I do not feel comfortable with this. I am sure it's doable, but two screw connections before the seacock, not sure if I like that. I guess in the end I will go with a flanged valve. I will have to fill the recess around the hole, using a small disc from G10 and glue this into the recess, redrill the hole, and level the backing plate with thickened epoxy, which will be necessary because of the stupid rim in this area.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks Christoph
