I happened to be in the process of replacing seacocks today, and after 
reading the messages here, I worked up the guts to pull off a valve from the 
thru hull and brave the water. out of a 3/4" thru hull there wasnt much 
water (only 4" below the water line) I was dismayed to find that not only 
was the seacock plastic, but the previous owner had installed plastic 
thru-hulls, which I dont trust. On another note, My cockpit lockers have 
rotten ply bottoms glassed in and I am in the process of tearing them out. I 
am seriously considering sealing the port hatch and converting this area 
into storage/berth/engine-stuffing box access, this space would be part of 
the cabin (I have no ice box). Has anyone tried this? it will open up 
storage area that before was hard to access for me. thanks for all the help
Ian
