My boat has a tee off the sal****er cooling intakes that can act as an
engine driven bilge pump. The tee is copper pipe with the hoses coming
up from the thru hulls. On the leg of the tee is a brass valve that has
a hose that reaches down into the bilge for pumping.

My problem is the corrosion from galvanic action between the copper tee
and the brass valve that controls the bilge suction hose.

Can anyone tell me how to stop the corrosion of the valve? The one I
have in my hand is almost completely pink because the zinc has
completely dissolved.

Ideas?

Thanks for all your advice. I replaced the valve with another brass
valve. The bronze ones were twice the size and more than twice the
price and the chap at the store said they wouldn't last twice as long.
At $11, I can afford to change the bilge suction valve every two or
three years.

It is back together.
