[Public-list] Atomic four intake seacock location

[Peter Amos]

I moved the cooling water seacock from the port to starboard side on Tait 
Tait #478.
The new location is  in the corner immediately behind the cill.A little bit 
tricky to get it in place,I had to shorten the lever on the valve so that 
the companionway steps would go back into position.
Two reasons 1 the raw water pump is on the starboard side of  my  motor ( 
aWesterbeke diesel) and the hose run is much shorter .2 it brings the 
through hull and valve to a much more accessible position.No more shifting 
batteries and groping in the dark to shut it off. On the downside it is a 
little higher than the original position and might suck air if the boat was 
well heeled,but in that situation I would be under sail anyway.Also I had 
some time ago inadvertantly drilled a 1/4" hole there  right through the 
liner and the hull not realising the liner touched the hull at that point.
