Additionally, a spray silicon lubricant should be sprayed on the moving parts to help keep working smoothly. If at all possible it would be ideal to check all of these valves when the boat is out of the water. If there is a problem with one of them, then it is more convenient to repair or replace. However, don\u2019t delay opening and closing each ball valve or seacock to ensure proper functionality just because your boat is still in the water.\u00a0 If you do have a problem with one of the valves, it obviously is better to find out when you are at the dock and not 50 miles offshore!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1981 alignleft\" title=\"Screen Shot 2012-08-20 at 2.05.35 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/goboatingflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2012-08-20-at-2.05.35-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"95\" height=\"113\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are several types of these valves, each requiring slightly different care.<\/p>\n<p>First there are gate valves. Let\u2019s hope you don\u2019t have any of these as they are the most prone to fail and have been prohibited to be used byNational Marine Manufacturers Association <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nmma.org\/\">http:\/\/www.nmma.org\/<\/a> approved boat manufacturers by American Boat and Yacht Counsel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abycinc.org\/\">http:\/\/www.abycinc.org\/<\/a>.\u00a0 It is advisable to replace any of this type of valve at the earliest possible opportunity. It is best to have skilled marine technician that is familiar with ABYC Standards replace the valves. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.proboat.com\/2010\/02\/sweating-the-small-stuff\/\">http:\/\/www.proboat.com\/2010\/02\/sweating-the-small-stuff\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goboatingflorida.com\/seacock-maintenance\/screen-shot-2012-08-20-at-2-05-48-pm\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1980\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1980 alignright\" title=\"Screen Shot 2012-08-20 at 2.05.48 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/goboatingflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2012-08-20-at-2.05.48-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"82\" \/><\/a>Ball Valves- Pretty simple for routine maintenance. First make sure that the component that the valve supplying water to is turned off. Now, simply close and open the valve several times to ensure smooth and easy operation. If the valve is stuck either in the open or closed position, you may want to employ a certified marine mechanic to see if he\/she can \u201cfree\u201d it up. If not, then it needs to be replaced. In the event that a hose or seal fails \u201cdown stream\u201d of this valve and it can NOT be closed, it gets to be pretty exciting on board as you have to \u201cMacGyver\u201d a field fix out on the water before your boat sinks!\u00a0 Also,\u00a0 while opening and closing the valve, look closely at the bronze housing for signs of corrosion and\/or electrolysis. If it has any pitting or is pinkish in color, have it replaced!<\/p>\n<p>Seacocks- Again, pretty simple and is treated the same as a ball valve (see above). The only real difference between the two is that <em>some<\/em> seacocks can be disassembled for inspection and greasing of the interior housing and valve assembly. Newer seacocks are designed and constructed in similar fashion to ball valves and are actually a version of a ball valve. Older and some larger seacocks have a cone shaped rotating inner valve assembly that sits inside of the housing. It is held in place with a nut and washer on the opposite of the handle along the rotating axis. When the boat is hauled, the seacock should be disassembled to have the housing and valve assembly cleaned, inspected and lubricated with water proof grease before being reassembled.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1982\" title=\"Screen Shot 2012-08-20 at 2.05.57 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/goboatingflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2012-08-20-at-2.05.57-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"79\" height=\"88\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When\u00a0your boat is hauled this is the time to carefully inspect all seacocks. Remove the hose attached inside. Have someone inside the boatactuate the seacock while you are outside looking up into the seacock with a flashlight. Remove marine growth and any other obstructions and insure smooth operation. And finally, completely remove seacocks for disassembly and inspection every <strong>four<\/strong> years, which also ensures that you\u2019ll be renewing the bedding compound when they\u2019re reinstalled.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Richard Strauss is a broker with Galati Yacht Sales, and has been around boats nearly all his life.
