[Public-List] Recommendations for replacement seacocks and thruhulls

[Glenn]

You will need two components: a thru hull, and a ball valve. The thru hull fitting clamps to the hull. The ball valve shuts off the flow of water into the boat, as needed. Any brand will do.  Bronze is the traditional material, although plastic parts are quite common now days as well. Stay away from stainless steel in this particular application.  Stainless is susceptible to galvanic corrosion if mated to a bronze fitting. 

THe most critical bit is to source the correct diameter for each rubber hose.  

Most any on line or walk up marine parts chandelry will have these readily available.
